Dina Kraft covers Israel and the Palestinian areas for The Christian Science Monitor out of Tel Aviv.
She’s a long-time foreign correspondent who began her overseas career in the Jerusalem bureau of The Associated Press. She was later posted to AP’s Johannesburg bureau where she covered southern Africa. She’s also reported from Senegal, Kenya, Pakistan, Jordan, Tunisia, Russia, and Ukraine.
Dina is drawn to stories featuring unlikely connections, dual narratives and the impact of conflict on ordinary lives. She hosts a podcast “The Branch”, sponsored by Hadassah, that tells the stories of friendships among Jews and Arabs, Israelis, and Palestinians.
She’s also an educator and has taught journalism classes at Northeastern University, Harvard University, and Boston University.
Dina was a winner of the 2020 B’nai B’rith World Center-Jerusalem Award for Journalism Recognizing Excellence in Diaspora Reportage. She was a 2012 Nieman Fellow at Harvard University and a 2015 Ochberg Fellow at the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University.
