Dion Nissenbaum, a reporter covering U.S. policy in the Middle East and regional security for The Wall Street Journal, has been laid off by the publication.
During his career, Nissenbaum has been based in Kabul, Beirut, Jerusalem, Washington and Istanbul.
He has been part of two Journal teams recognized as Pulitzer Prize finalists in international reporting. In 2017, he was part of the Journal team that was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the failed 2016 coup and its aftermath. In 2022, he was part of a Journal team that was a finalist in the same category for coverage of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban takeover of the country.
Nissenbaum is also a recipient of a 2022 Society of Publishers in Asia award and a National Press Club award for diplomatic correspondence.
Before joining the Journal, he served as a Middle East correspondent for McClatchy Newspapers and Knight Ridder Newspapers.
He is the author of “A Street Divided: Stories from Jerusalem’s Alley of God,” a 2015 book about a 300-yard dead-end street that serves as the physical, political, cultural and psychological dividing line between Arabs and Jews living in the city.
