It was one month ago when I was on the border between Israel and Gaza and a rocket fell next to me. Here is a youtube video from when that happened. http://youtu.be/AFIuIcZ_q_o

An example of this is when I was covering the tunnel between Gaza and Israel. When I went to cover the story, to get access to the tunnel, I needed to be escorted by the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). It is important that you tell the viewers that you are there with one side of the story. However, I can ask any question that I want to the IDF officials, but I have to make sure the viewer is aware I went there with IDF.

This is a complicated issue. As a journalist you have a right in Israel, that you don't have to reveal your sources. The courts in Israel take it very seriously. As a journalist, it is your responsibility to make sure your sources are safe.

My entire career I reported from Israel, even before I worked for Alhurra. As for working somewhere else, there are many places that I would like to report from. I enjoy working in a conflict zones, but my background is in international relations, so I would like to work in diplomatic assignments as well, such as the United Nations.

The biggest misconception is that people feel that you would take sides regarding the conflict. However, as a journalist I am objective and my reporting is unbiased.
