Media directory - Middle East/Israel
In order to assist the expert community in reaching media audiences, the Forum on the Arms Trade maintains a list of journalists who are now reporting on key arms transfer topics. On this page, we highlight reporters covering arms issues related to the Middle East, including Israel. These lists are not exhaustive, but are meant to capture leading journalists and are frequently updated. The journalists identified here have not necessarily explicitly consented to be listed. If you have suggestions for additional media members, or are listed and would like to be removed, please email us.
