Yair Lapid's two-day visit, in which he will open an Israeli consulate in Dubai on Wednesday, is the first to the Gulf state by an Israeli cabinet minister since the countries established ties last year. The trip is also an opportunity for the two-week-old Israeli government of Naftali Bennett, a nationalist who heads an improbable cross-partisan coalition, to make diplomatic inroads despite long-stymied talks with the Palestinians.

THE Oxford Handbook series is a new venture for Oxford University Press, seeking to offer in each volume a state-of-the-art survey of current thinking and research by using an international cast of scholars who specialise in the given area. This particular volume on the historical books provides resources for the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah, but with an eye to uniting the individual book treatments to questions of how the topic relates to, and helps to interpret, the historical books as a group.
