    .@TheEconomist turned to MEF’s @samwestrop for perspective on Texas’s debate over “Islamification” — and the deeper question of how officials should confront Islamist networks without getting lost in online noise.

    An Israeli report corroborates longstanding warnings about Muslim Brotherhood affiliates in Italy, including the country’s top Islamic body. @DrJulesGomes reports.
    Lawmakers in the Italian Senate located in the Palazzo Madama in Rome (above) have raised the issue of the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence in Italy more than 180 times in Senate interventions, with dozens specifically addressing the Union of Islamic Communities and Organisations in Italy (UCOII), the MB’s flagship umbrella group in the country. An Israeli investigative report has corroborated these long-standing...

    MEF Chief Strategist @JimHansonDC tells @FoxNews Tehran may be badly misreading President Trump. Iran’s regime thought it could survive, sell oil, and regroup. Hanson says Trump’s “get this done” message puts something bigger back on the table: regime change.

    Foreign journalists in Iran often report the images Tehran gives them. @potkazar warns that surface-level coverage can turn reporters into regime amplifiers.

    President Trump says he's done with Iran “I’m not sure I want to make a deal. Let’s just finish the job.” I told Liz McDonald "...probably some strikes on regime leaders. If I was them I wouldn't be sleeping above ground"

    Turkey still has strategic value. That does not make it strategically reliable. @nicolekouroushi argues Washington should stop treating Ankara as the central pillar of regional policy.

    Israel’s police solve only 15 percent of Arab homicides, compared with 65 percent in Jewish communities. MEF’s Jose Lev Alvarez argues clan violence has become a sovereignty problem.
    Israel’s Arab communities cannot hand their security entirely to the state. Extended family clans often act as parallel authorities, enforcing silence that shields killers and frightens witnesses. Israeli police patrol vehicles moving through the city.

    Turkey should not be rewarded with America’s most advanced fighter jets while it destabilizes U.S. allies and courts adversaries. @armradio cites MEF’s @mrubin1971 on why F-35 readmission would undermine U.S. interests.

    Under former spy chief Hakan Fidan, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry is becoming more than a diplomatic service. @abdbozkurt reports on its transformation into an intelligence and security platform abroad.
    The transformation carries particular significance because Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan (above in 2025) served for more than 13 years as director of Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı, MIT), where he expanded the agency’s overseas operational capabilities, sanctioned torture sessions, approved assassinations, kidnappings in foreign countries and set up heavily armed...

    Egypt got the photo op. Morocco brought the relationship Israel actually trusts. @amineayoubx explains why Rabat’s role in Gaza stabilization matters more than the headlines suggest.
    Morocco's arrival in Gaza places an experienced, religiously credible Arab military inside the one part of the mission that foreign ministries elsewhere have been most hesitant to staff.

    Iran’s factions are fighting over power, money, and control after Khamenei’s elimination. Saeid Golkar and Kasra Aarabi warn open conflict could be next.
    The latest manifestation of this infighting is from the Assembly of Experts, who made an unusual public intervention in the form of a statement on the ongoing negotiations with the United States and the recently-signed Memorandum of Understanding. The statement de facto criticized Iran’s Supreme National Security Council over its conduct of the negotiations with Washington, suggesting the officials had moved beyond...
