The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

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 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. The Times decided not to remove Bronner from his position, 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. "New York Times fails to disclose Jerusalem bureau chief's conflict of interest " , “The Electronic Intifada,“ 25 January 2010 Hoyt, Clark (6 February 2010).1
