Mosab Abu Toha, who was a 2019–2020 fellow in Harvard’s Scholars At Risk program and a visiting poet in our department, received the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. His essays in The New Yorker offered
an intimate portrayal of life in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict, which
the Pulitzer committee commended for combining “deep reporting with the
intimacy of memoir to convey the Palestinian experience.”
Abu Toha, a poet and educator, founded Gaza’s first English-language library. He is the author of Forest of Noise and Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear, the latter a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and recipient of an American Book Award.

returning after the ceasefire confront the destruction of their homes
and the horror of President Trump’s proposal to turn Gaza into the
“Riviera of the Middle East” by committing ethnic cleansing.
The
awards honor Mosab Abu Toha’s commentary on the Israel-Hamas war in
Gaza, Moises Saman’s photographs of Syria after Assad, and the third
season of the In the Dark podcast.
“Permanently relocate”
You misspelled ETHNICALLY CLEANSE.
