Life and career

[edit]

Saad Malki was born in Cairo. He began his career in journalism after the Balfour Declaration, when he published articles in Al-Ahram.[1] and Al Muqattam[2] in support of Zionism, Jewish-Arab unity,[3] and in defense of the rights of Jews in Egypt.[4] From 1924 he began working as the editor of the Arabic edition of the Egyptian news paper Israël.[5]

In 1934 Malki established the Arabic language Jewish weekly Ash-Shams,[6] which continued operating until it was shut down by Egyptian authorities in 1948.[7] Shortly after, he emigrated to Israel, where he began working as a translator and editor for the government newspaper Reshumot.[8]
