5 minutes with... Mark Perry

By Gregg Carlstrom in on Mon, 2010-05-24 09:37.

American journalist Mark Perry reported in March that Gen. David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), asked the Obama administration to include the West Bank and Gaza in CENTCOM's area of responsibility. Petraeus denied the report, but Perry's article nonetheless set off a debate about the military's view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Al Jazeera's Gregg Carlstrom spoke with Perry about his reporting and the prospects of engagement with Hamas and Hezbollah.
