News Anchor — France 24 Arabic
I am a journalist and international news anchor with 20 years of experience in television and news reporting.
Since 2015, I have been a news anchor at France 24 Arabic, covering major international and regional events through live broadcasts, breaking-news coverage, political interviews and field reporting.
Throughout my career, I have reported from the field on major conflicts and crises, including war zones and battles in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, covering events directly from the ground and reporting under challenging and rapidly changing conditions.
My experience extends from frontline reporting to the studio, where I anchor live coverage, prepare and adapt news bulletins, conduct political interviews and provide context on major international developments.
I have interviewed political figures, policymakers, diplomats, experts and prominent voices on issues shaping the Middle East and the wider world.
My work focuses particularly on Middle Eastern affairs, international politics and relations between the Arab world and Europe.
I work professionally in Arabic, French and English.
For more than a decade, I have been part of the France 24 Arabic newsroom, anchoring live news and covering major international and regional events.
My responsibilities include:
My work focuses particularly on Middle Eastern affairs, international politics and the relationship between the Arab world and Europe.
Beyond the studio, I have reported from the field on major political, security and humanitarian developments across the Middle East. My reporting experience includes coverage from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, as well as major events across Europe and the region. Field reporting has strengthened my ability to work under pressure, react quickly to developing stories and deliver clear, accurate journalism in challenging environments.
Breaking news, continuous coverage and major live events.
Geopolitics, Middle Eastern affairs and international relations.
Interviews with political figures, policymakers, diplomats and experts.
On-location reporting from the Middle East and Europe.
News writing, editorial preparation, story development and live coverage.
Beyond presenting and reporting, I run journalism training sessions for high school students.
