Taghreed El-Khodary is a Palestinian journalist who is a visiting scholar in the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment, where her research focuses on the future of Gaza. She is also a 2010 Heinrich Boell Fellow. She is editor at fanack.com,[1]

From 2001 to 2009, El-Khodary reported from Gaza for The New York Times. She stopped reporting for the Times soon after the Electronic Intifada reported that Ethan Bronner, the Jerusalem bureau chief of the Times, has a son serving in the Israeli army.[2] The Times decided not to remove Bronner from his position,[3] and El-Khodary resigned, saying she felt it was “not wise” for her to stay. “It’s risky,” she said in a panel discussion at the Palestine Center in Washington DC. “It’s very sensitive and I was really disappointed that [the New York Times] took this decision but they understand why I left.”[4]
