Increasingly, voices are predicting civil war in Israel over the judicial reform issue. Is such a scenario possible? Have Israeli politics ever been this divisive?

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has begun to reshape realities in the Middle East. Both China and Turkey are playing more prominent roles in the region, while Iran has been afforded a dangerous path to achieving its Islamist goals. How will this impact demographics and geopolitics? Is there any pushback by the West?

The 20th anniversary of the launch of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq approaches next month. Within weeks, Iraq plunged into insurgency and sectarian warfare as competing factions battled for control of the country. Institutions established then still remain in place today; how effective are they? Looking back, what did American policy get right and wrong? What insights does a look back provide for today’s problems?

Abdel Bari Atwan is the London-based editor-in-chief of the online newspaper Rai al-Youm and someone with a long, well-documented record of antisemitism and support for anti-Israel violence. He had been a frequent guest discussing the Middle East on the BBC – until CAMERA UK's exposure ended that. But Atwan is just one of many Islamists featured by the BBC. Why does the network have a penchant for Islamists? With recent changes, might it turn over a new leaf? What can politicians do about this problem?

Five months of anti-regime protests in Iran amount to a monumental clash between the dictatorship and the people. That’s because, unlike previous uprisings in the Islamic Republic, which focused on specific grievances the regime could fix, demonstrators this time appear totally to reject the system in which they live. How much have the protests diminished the regime’s base? Will they win changes? What must happen for a revolution to occur?

With Palestinian violence against Israelis on the rise, why is the Netanyahu-led government so focused on judicial reform?

Per capita, Israel probably has the most international media coverage of any country. That coverage may also be among the most bifurcated, positive and negative.

The Netanyahu government's judicial reform have come to dominate Israel's politics by including everyone from the country's president to the U.S. secretary of state. What is at stake and what are the reform's prospects?

In the most recent midterm elections, Islamist-backed candidates did notably well. With a vast political infrastructure in place, a concentrated collection of Islamist groups have worked, with some success, to manipulate the Muslim vote and use it to advance their extremist agenda. However, Islamist influence over the Muslim vote is only as durable as their level of support within Muslim communities. What is the future of American Islamist efforts to influence our politics? https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-releases-report-on-congressional-legislative-priorities-in-the-118th-congress/

Adjunct professor Erika López Prater showed two pious, Muslim-drawn images of Muhammad in an art history class in October at Hamline University in Minnesota. When a student complained of "Islamophobia," the university responded by firing López Prater. That in turn sparked a national controversy in which almost everyone criticized Hamline. Have accusations of “Islamophobia” lost currency? Could this be a turning point for Middle East Studies?
