Rachel Shabi
An award-winning journalist and broadcaster, I’ve reported extensively on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the wider Middle East, from the war between Lebanon and Israel in 2006, the Gaza war of 2008 and the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. Now London-based and covering current affairs, my work appears in the Guardian, The New York Times, The London Times, The Independent, Al Jazeera English, The New York Review of Books, The London Review of Books, Prospect and The Nation.
I'm a regular commentator across broadcast media, including BBC News, Sky News, Al Jazeera English and BBC World Service radio. You can find me on papers reviews and news programmes such as BBC Newsnight and Politics Live. I was a presenter on Sky’s The Pledge discussion show and a panelist on CNN Talk, a live, global discussion programme.
My critically acclaimed book, Not the Enemy - Israel's Jews from Arab Lands, was published in the UK, US and Germany and received a US National Jewish Book award.
