New York, United States

The New Arab's person on the ground in New York. I'm broadening the scope of our Opinion section to include a focus on US politics. Building a powerful network of contributors both in and out of the US that reflects the people it is about, and builds our US audience in the process. Occasionally, I do some reporting. Most recently, I traveled to Guantanamo Bay to report on the pre-trial hearings, and interviewed Rashida Tlaib during her historic run for Congress.

Here, we have showcased leading voices of the Syrian revolution, women's rights activists, citizen journalists and bestselling UK/US authors, and aim to bring a progressive and diverse voice to debates on the Middle East and beyond.
