News from Middle Eastern Periodicals
The New York Times “At War” blog summarizes news events in the Middle East by taking “a look at discussions inside the Arab world, as played out in Arabic newspapers.” Israeli paper Haaretz and Ramallah-based Al Ayyam are examples. The perspective readers can gain from foreign newspapers is an important way of understanding global issues. Check this blog out frequently; it wraps up the headlines in the Arab press every so often.
