Arab-Israeli Conflict told by its Protagonists in six languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Arabic, Brazilian edition and English).

Henrique Cymerman directed the TV documentary series Jihad Now, in which he explores the roots of radical Islam, al-Qaeda and Islamic State. The show aired in 2016. Henrique Cymerman and Pope Francis In June 2013, Henrique Cymerman had a meeting with Pope Francis in which he suggested the Pope visit the Holy Land. Pope Francis’ journey to the Holy Land took place on May 24–26, 2014. Henrique Cymerman, who became an admirer of Pope Francis’ leadership skills, also suggested he organize an encounter between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli President Shimon Peres, which the Pope proposed turning into a "prayer ceremony" that would take place in "his home," the Vatican, and which both leaders accepted. This offer was immediately qualified by Le Figaro as an unprecedented historical gesture in favor of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Cymerman sustains that the Middle East is currently going through one of its most difficult moments since the Second Intifada: the peace process promoted by the United States is at an impasse, especially because they never succeeded in bringing together both parties of the conflict and because of their insistence in pursuing a bilateral path instead of adopting a regional approach, wherein Israel would forge alliances with the Sunni Arab States. Henrique Cymerman coauthored with Jorge Reis-Sá the book Francis: From Rome to Jerusalem (Guerra e Paz, Portugal, 2014), a book that narrates Pope Francis' journey to the Holy Land.
