Taqrir Washington is a free weekly online journal of politics and public affairs in Arabic, dedicated to bringing news and American opinions to Arabic-speaking countries and communities in an accurate, comprehensive and analytical manner. TW reports on current cultural and political debates and analyzes the factors that influence U.S. decision-making.
