Forthcoming Weekly Webinar Offerings from the Middle East Forum for November 27 - December 1

Have the UK’s Pro-Jihadis Gone Too Far?
with Hannah Baldock
Organizations overtly supporting Hamas predominantly led the 300,000-strong anti-Israel marches on Armistice Day in London – the biggest demonstrations in England's capital since those against the Iraq War in 2003. The open glorification of murder, including calls for a jihad “from London to Gaza” has prompted demands for more robust responses from government and law enforcement. How have Islamist social media campaigns mobilized British youth? How much have anti-Israel activities opened the eyes of the British public to the threat of Islamism? Could this be a turning point?

How does this agreement affect Israel’s goal of destroying Hamas? Specifically, can the IDF recover its momentum and resume its attack after the ceasefire?
