Abstract

The return of Jews to the land of Israel is a singular historical event which has failed to legitimate the State of Israel, at least in the view of its neighbouring countries. The need for two states, one Israeli, the other Palestinian must be stressed as the means to build coexistence between the two populations. Because of their responsibilities and historical approach, European states can and must play a role in this process.Avraham B. Yehoshua, an israeli novelist and essayist traduced worldwide, is one of the foundators of the 'Peace Now' movement. His last book traduced into French is Un feu amical (Paris, Calmann-Lévy, 2008).
