Khaled Abu Toameh is the outstanding Jerusalem Post reporter who specializes in the West Bank and Gaza. He began his career at one of Yasser Arafat’s newspapers. I met him through the efforts of Fern Oppenheim on my trip to Israel as a guest of America’s Voices in Israel. Everything Toameh had to say to our group was incredibly interesting, but off the record.
Michael Totten met Toameh a few weeks ago on his trip to Israel sponsored by the American Jewish Committee. Toameh spoke on the record with Totten’s group and Totten has posted a transcript of Toameh’s remarks here. They are worth reading in their entirety. Hudson New York has coincidentally posted Toameh’s comments on “the Jordan-Egypt option.”
