Table of ContentsReviewsI enjoyed reading the story, which encompasses the modern history of our people in the Land of Israel. The enchanting description provides the story with a dimension of roots and helps to soften the concepts of poverty and hardship felt by the early Jewish settlers. It is decreed for us to live here side by side, two peoples-Jews and Arabs. This is the message that has been woven into the length of this novel and gives added value to the meaning of shared destiny, even when the reality described here is fictional. -- Shimon Peres Gate of Mercy shows Israeli literature a new and original element of Jewish-Arab relations. -- A.
