Shara'a Simsim
From Muppet Wiki
Karim and Haneen perform at a Palestinian school in March 2009.
Shara'a Simsim is the current Palestinian co-production of Sesame Street, the successor to Rechov Sumsum — Shara'a Simsim, the Israeli-Pakestinian joint venture, and Hikayat Simsim, the Palestine only series.
The new series premiered in May 2007, and retains Kareem and Haneen from the earlier incarnations. A new cast member is actor Khaled Masou, who plays Salim, the Fix-It manager.
Gary Knell visited Ramallah for the first time in 2007, for the new series' third season's launch party.[1]
The program is broadcast in Arabic and Hebrew on the 10-station Palestinian Maan TV network.
