Portrait of Adam Rasgon

Adam Rasgon

I report on Israel and the occupied territories, with a special focus on Palestinian politics and culture. I’ve crisscrossed the West Bank, Gaza and Israel, exploring stories about the Palestinian Authority, Hamas and life under occupation.

I’ve written about wars between Israel and militant groups in Gaza; the growing authoritarianism of the Palestinian political system; Israeli elections; and the intersection of food and politics.

I’ve reported on Israeli and Palestinian affairs for nearly a decade and I speak Hebrew and Arabic. I recently returned to Jerusalem after a 1.5 year stint in New York as a member of The New Yorker magazine’s editorial staff. My articles have highlighted Israeli and Palestinian victims of war, conflicts between leading Palestinian political factions and the future of the Palestinian leadership.

I graduated from Bowdoin College in Maine in 2013, majoring in government and legal studies and minoring in religion. I’m originally from Los Angeles, but I’ve lived in the Middle East for most of my adult life, including in Israel, the West Bank, Jordan and Egypt.

All Times journalists are committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I strive to be fair, accurate, and honest in my reporting. I don’t accept favors or compensation of any kind from sources and I don’t participate in politics. I always identify myself as a Times reporter when I am working.
