“Rashid Khalidi has spent years writing a series of books on the region and its conflicts”

France 24 explicitly states that Rashid Khalidi 'has spent years writing a series of books on the region and its conflicts'. This is supported by his academic standing as a Professor Emeritus of Modern Arab Studies and former editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies as noted in Wikipedia.
