Spotlight: The Trump Administration Redux
President Trump blew back into the White House promising across-the-board changes in the way America does business—and diplomacy—across the globe. What are his plans for the Middle East? Does the Israel-Hamas ceasefire portend a policy of strongarming allies, or will the administration adopt a more nuanced approach in time?
Will Trump revive and expand the Abraham Accords? What of the future presence of U.S. troops and naval assets? How will he deal with Syria and America’s Kurdish allies, or with Iran and its diminished network of proxies? MEF’s network of experts analyze these and other developments throughout the region.

Middle East Forum Observer
Founded in 2024, the Observer provides rapid analysis on leading Middle East developments, from Marrakech to Mashhad and the Bab el-Mandeb to the Black Sea.
Launched in 2006, Islamist Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum. We work to combat the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West. Arguing that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution,” we seek to expose the Islamist organizations that currently dominate the debate, while identifying and promoting the work of moderate Muslims.
CAMPUS WATCH, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
