In this book written in 1993, Habib Ayeb recounts the story of one of the major bones of contention in the rivalry between Israel and the neighbouring Arab states: the question of water. A vital need for the populations of the region, the control and sharing of this resource, present in abundance for some and rarer for others, has indeed been for many decades one of the key issues in peaceful negotiations between the two camps. The Jordan Basin in the Arab-Israeli conflict begins by detailing the various available water resources and identify consumption habits of the inhabitants in the middle of the XX th century. Then, in the chapter "Hydropolitical chronology of the Middle East", the author explains, since 1913, the importance of the demand for access to the Jordan basin in the genesis of Israel and in the oppositions that this political project was able to arouse. The interest of this book rests finally on its many maps and its Annex, which draws up an exhaustive list of the hydraulic works planned and / or carried out on the Jordan between 1948 and 1964.
