The New York Times announced on Wednesday that it is seeking to hire a full-time reporter to cover Palestinian affairs.

“The reporter will focus on Palestinian politics, culture and life in the Gaza Strip and West Bank,” including eastern Jerusalem, “as well as Palestinian citizens of Israel,” along with occasional reporting of the broader region, said the listing.

The position will be based in eastern Jerusalem or Ramallah and will report directly to the newspaper’s new Jerusalem bureau chief Patrick Kingsley and Middle East editor Herbert Buchsbaum.

Requirements include a “detailed understanding” of Palestinian and Israeli history, “and clarity about the intricacies of Palestinian and Israeli politics.”

The newspaper is seeking a native-level English speaker who is fluent in Arabic and preferably Hebrew as well.

The job opening comes at a time when all eyes are on the Middle East as ongoing violence continues between Israel and the Palestinians.

The New York City mayor said that the accused attacker is an alleged member of a right-wing, violent Jewish group.
“I stood on a chair at the kitchen table, watching mom and Bubbe grate the apples for the charoset, and I would sneak little bits of fruit,” says a daughter who has since become a mother.
The U.S. vice president said the administration is seeking legal remedies and alleged that the anti-Israel congresswoman is “at the center” of fraud in the Somali community.
“As online hatred, harassment and vitriol become an increasingly pervasive part of the Jewish experience, we need scalable, effective solutions,” said Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor of CyberWell.
“We will terminate every diversity, equity and inclusion program across the entire federal government,” the U.S. president stated.
Matti Leshem, the show’s Jewish creator, told JNS that the Israeli actor playing Jesus “seems like he’d be at home in first-century Judea.”
