Born in Jerusalem and raised between Amman, Jordan, and Sharjah, UAE, Fatima AbdulKarim uses her unique perspective, research skills, and grassroots storytelling in her reporting.
From the West Bank, Fatima writes on politics, diplomacy, economy, culture, security, settler violence, life-and-death crises, and the hopes and often unfulfilled aspirations of Palestinians living under occupation.
She seeks out the voices of decisionmakers and everyday people to present Palestinian perspectives on the Israeli occupation and Israeli-Palestinian conflict, regional politics, global events, and domestic developments in the West Bank and Gaza.
Fatima also draws upon a career that has spanned media, communications, human rights advocacy, arts, and culture in the public sector, NGOs, and news organizations.
In her 18 years reporting from the front lines of the occupied Palestinian territories, Fatima’s bylines have appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, The Wall Street Journal, 972 Magazine, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
