Radio show year’s end special with Laila El-Haddad
Posted December 29, 2009
Our guest on the “CNI: Jerusalem Calling” internet-radio show on December 31 will be Laila El-Haddad, the talented journalist, writer, and activist who blogs at Gaza Mom.
El-Haddad, a graduate of Duke University and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, has worked for Al-Jazeera English and numerous other media outlets. She’s from an old Gaza family– but last year she and her young kids weren’t even allowed by the Egyptian government to transit Egypt to return to her family home in Gaza. Her parents– both retired physicians– were in Gaza at the time, and they stayed there throughout the whole of last winter’s war.
On the show, El-Haddad and CNI Executive Director (and occasional radio host) Helena Cobban will be reviewing the developments of the past year, especially as regards Gaza and the rest of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. They’ll also look at current efforts underway to try to break the tight Israeli-US-Egyptian siege on Gaza.
The show will be aired live online from Noon to 1 pm EST (5 pm to 6pm GMT). To listen, go to www.wsradio.com/cni and click on the “Listen Live” button for Studio A, at the top left.
