A few days before his passing, I was eager to have an intellectual dialogue with the famous diplomat Martin Indyk, who had extensive experience with our region and then pen down about it.

His last book was an important book about a matchless politician who had a greater role in the region, namely Henry Kissinger. Unfortunately, Indyk passed away before we could begin our dialogue about the politician, his vast experience, and the book, for which its author chose a creative title: “The Master of the Game.”

The title is a message and an accurate description of the man who was graceful until his passing at the age of 100. This book is an important source for understanding Kissinger’s diplomacy and its impact on the path of peace in the Middle East. It provides an in-depth look at his strategies and interactions with the leaders of the region.

Martin Indyk, the former US ambassador to Israel, has published his book “Master of the Game: Henry Kissinger and the Art of Middle East Diplomacy,” in which he delves into the role of Henry Kissinger, the former US Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, in the Middle East peace negotiations after the October 1973 War. The book is based on thousands of declassified documents from the US and Israeli archives, in addition to interviews with Kissinger and other officials.

With his genius, Kissinger was able to strike three agreements that played an important role in shaping the Middle East diplomacy: two between Egypt and Israel, and one between Israel and Syria, which contributed to ending the October War.

With the constantly explosive situation in our region, we recall how this major issue involves significant points of view from figures who are aware of the borders where it must be stopped when it comes to supporting the US strategic ally, which is Israel, of course, instead of sabotaging the game as a whole, creating instability, and blowing up the region.

With the passing of the famous American politician Henry Kissinger, the Middle East lost one of the most important witnesses to the historical phase of the recent conflict, which has colored the region with its dark color for decades.

Kissinger represented a unique case in modern political history, and he obtained what most of those who worked in his field failed to obtain. He was a student, who studied politics; a teacher, who imparted the theories that he learned to his students, and then he became a politician who studied the theories, then taught them, and then carried them out on the ground.

A lot will be said about Kissinger, as is said about any historical figures in our world, such as politicians, adventurers and martyrs. It was not only talent and intellectual alertness, but also fate played a major role in that.

The Jewish component in the character of the big fox was the reason for his initial hesitation to enter the Arab-Israeli conflict. When he entered through the gate of war and diplomacy, he entered the history of the Middle East through its widest doors, and left indelible imprints between its deserts and valleys.

When hearing the ideas of displacement that have been flying around recently, you miss the rational bias — the Western politician who knows the limits and takes into account international balances, before embarking on a racist project that is unparalleled in the modern history of the region.

But why do we remember Kissinger? In general, Kissinger was the mastermind behind many political balances in the Middle East, and his fingerprints are still evident in US policies towards the region to this day. He was the rational bias that the region needs now.
