Arab Center Washington D.C.

This is the fifty-ninth of Arab America’s series on American pathbreakers of Arab descent. The series includes personalities from entertainment, business, sports, science, academia, journalism, and politics, among other areas. Our fifty-ninth pathbreaker is Khalil Jahshan, a Palestinian-American political analyst, media commentator, and organization executive. He serves as Executive Director of Arab Center Washington DC, a nonprofit think tank focusing on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Contributing writer, John Mason depicts Khalil as impassioned by the long-festering Israeli Palestinian issue and a fervent supporter of Palestine.
