| Abstract: | The book deals with five aspects: the main features of Afro-Arab and Afro-Israeli relations since 1973; the factors that strengthened the Arab position in Africa and enabled the Arabs, in 1973, to induce most African countries to severe diplomatic ties with Israel; the new means and methods adopted by the Arabs to overcome difficulties that have arisen since 1973 and to strengthen Afro-Arab relations, create positive African attitudes towards Arabs, and thwart Israel's efforts to renew ties with Africa; the factors that hampered Arab activities in Africa, constricting their efforts to curb Israel's activities in the 1960s and sometimes causing African resentment, especially in 1974-1975, factors that have played a role in Israel's ability to maintain a wide range of activities in Africa despite the lack of formal relations; Israeli activities between 1973 and 1985, and the factors that restricted Israel's ability to influence the diplomatic situation in her favour. |
