Dr. Isaiah Friedman, one of the foremost historians of the Zionist movement, will take a post in Israel in the autumn after working for a number of years in Britain and the United States. He will be the visiting research professor at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheba, where he will teach modern Jewish history and carry out research into the late David Ben Gurion’s relations with the British government and the Arabs. Friedman, formerly of Dropsie College, Philadelphia, is also the author of a forthcoming volume, “Germany, Turkey and Zionism 1897-1918.” His best known work is “The Question of Palestine, 1914-1918, British-Jewish-Arab Relations.”
