ElectionLine’s View From Abroad: Al Arabiya’s Washington D.C. Chief Nadia Bilbassy-Charters On Feeling Like The “Lone Voice” Grilling White House Officials Over The Israel-Gaza Crisis


Al Arabiya’s Washington D.C. bureau chief Nadia Bilbassy-Charters on feeling like the "lone voice" in the White House press corps over Israel-Gaza.

And the tragic consequences of the Israel-Gaza crisis are not just bound up in bricks and mortar for Bilbassy-Charters: 12 members of her extended family have been killed since the Hamas atrocities of October 7. Unsurprisingly, the Israel-Gaza conflict has been all-consuming, and Bilbassy-Charters regularly pops up on U.S. networks like NBC asking questions of officials including John Kirby, the White House’s national security spokesperson. She only sees this grip getting firmer as the election grows closer, but it will not stop her from pursuing interviews with Biden and Donald Trump, arguing that they have a duty to address millions of Arab-American voters.
