How Historic Interview Was Arranged
Mousa Abu Marzook’s first-ever interview with a Jewish publication was arranged, at the Forward’s request, by his attorney, Stanley L. Cohen, who was present for the entire exchange. Abu Marzook spoke to Larry Cohler-Esses, the assistant managing editor for news, on April 3 and April 4 for a total of five and one half hours. The interview was conducted in English.
Abu Marzook imposed no ground rules or limitations on what could be asked. Everything was on-the-record. The interview took place at Abu Marzook’s home in New Cairo, a neighborhood outside Egypt’s capital city.
