Wafa Amr writes: "A week before U.S. President Barack Obama's June 4 speech to the Muslim world, the U.S. Consulate called me and said I was selected as the journalist from the Palestinian territories to join six other Arab senior journalists and an Israeli in a round table interview of President Obama. The other six senior journalists were from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Indonesia and Israel. My interview appeared in the Palestinian daily al-Ayyam newspaper and an op-ed in Haaretz."
