Spotlight: The End Game in Gaza
Is the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza finally nearing its end? Israel has announced it intends to occupy Gaza City and parts of the Strip beyond the 75 percent it currently controls via a final push by the IDF to remove Hamas dead-enders. If they succeed, what comes next?
Questions abound: Will a significant percentage of Gazans accept opportunities to leave and settle elsewhere? What role will the Gulf Arab states play in security and rebuilding? Will the United States and Europeans become directly involved, or play only diplomatic roles? MEF staff and fellows analyze the situation and potential outcomes.

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.
