A luncheon discussion with

Nazier Magally,
acclaimed Arab writer and journalist in Israel,

on current events and media discourse in Israel's Arab society.

Nazier Magally, one of the most senior and respected Arab journalists in Israel, has long served as a voice both for Arabs in Israel and a voice for Israel in Arab society abroad. His steadfast commitment to both his Palestinian and Israeli identities and vast journalistic experience have made him a valued thought leader, commentator and media host among Arab and Jewish citizens alike.

On Wednesday, March 9th at 12pm, Nazier Magally held a roundtable with North American Jewish Media journalists to discuss current events, leadership and media discourse in Arab society in Israel, including responses to the ongoing wave of attacks and the diversity of Arab discourse not generally seen in Hebrew or English media.
