I knew them closely

"e;...His opponents criticized him for his harsh temper and his lack of diplomacy...in addition to his being an uncontrollable character...."e; "e;And I looked at the face of..., which seemed to me like a mobile museum, and which exuded the scent of national history and national struggle...."e; "e;...For nearly half a century, he remained a bright star in the skies of the Middle East, and an important figure in all its political equations....."e; "e;... my relationship with... was not good all the time..."e; * * * These are very limited models. Rather, they are drops from the waves of the river of life, in which human features and characteristics are embodied. The book "e;I Knew Them Closely"e; is indicative of its content, which confirms two basic dimensions, the first of which is that this knowledge is a prerequisite - whether directly or indirectly - for entering the world of the character I am talking about, and the second is that proximity is a sure guarantee of commitment, honesty and impartiality in dealing with that character. Despite, of course, there are points of agreement or points of difference in visions and points of view. This book is a serious attempt to document the right of current and future generations to know human symbols, about which there is agreement or disagreement, or about which controversy is growing. But in the end It is a matter of giving to humanity and to the nation that deserves to be mentioned. We are facing an attempt to delve into the depths of these characters, driven by that hidden desire hidden deep within us - since God Almighty created us - to understand the human soul and clarify its secrets, before we judge what is for it or against it. .
