INSERT INTO phone_book (id, first_name, last_name, phone) VALUE (NULL, "MO", "EL-ZEIN", "123456")

You need to use VALUES, not VALUE, when inserting data into a table. Also, I would set the id to some integer rather than NULL.

INSERT INTO phone_book (id, first_name, last_name, phone) VALUES (15, "MO", "EL-ZEIN", "123456")
