I'm beyond thrilled that @TheEconomist picked my book "Twenty Years: Hope, War and the Betrayal of an Afghan Generation" as one of the best of 2024 - alongside my friend and colleague @yarotrof (get his book, too!) economist.com/culture/2024/1… #afghanistan

This WSJ reporting was attacked when it first came out. Much of it is now corroborated by new reporting by the NYT here nytimes.com/2024/10/12/wor…

Incredible photos by AFP's Jalaa Marey of a Hezbollah drone being shot down over northern Israel.

Tooting my own horn here but @TheEconomist has a great review of TWENTY YEARS that calls my reporting "admirably objective" and says the book is "compelling" and offers deep insight. So happy to read this. economist.com/culture/2024/0… #afghanistan

@nancyayoussef @jmalsin Important quote to WSJ: “I can’t from personal knowledge say how entwined Hamas is with Unrwa,” said James Lindsay, the legal counsel for Unrwa from 2000 to 2007. “Unrwa minimizes the problem, and Israel tries to maximize it. The truth is probably somewhere in between.”

@nancyayoussef @jmalsin The UN released partial findings of its own investigation: Unrwa had to do more to ensure its employees are politically neutral and aren’t teaching biased content in its schools in Gaza and the West Bank. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

Then, an important scoop from @nancyayoussef and @jmalsin: U.S. intelligence found it likely that Unrwa employees took part on Oct. 7 but couldn't verify that 10% belonged to militant groups. The story noted: the assessment didn't dispute the 10%. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the Israeli intelligence "highly credible." The UN launched an investigation based on the intelligence assessment.

It starts with a story about Israel's explosive claim in January: 12 members of Unrwa personally took part in the Oct. 7 attack. The U.S. -- Unrwa's biggest donor by far -- suspended aid. The UN fired some of the workers. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

It's a good moment to call out The Wall Street Journal's robust coverage of the controversies surrounding the United Nations' agency responsible for refugees in the Palestinian Territories, known as Unrwa.
