Middle East Observer

Overview​

Middle East Observer is a news and intelligence platform dedicated to providing in-depth coverage of geopolitical events in the Middle East. The project focuses on security threats facing Israel, with an emphasis on state-sponsored terrorism and hostile non-state actors.

The website monitors and analyzes developments related to organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, and the Houthis in Yemen. Coverage extends to political, military, and cyber warfare, offering fact-based reporting to counter misinformation and biased narratives.

Objectives​

The primary objective of Middle East Observer is to document and expose the realities of ongoing conflicts in the region, particularly those affecting Israel’s security. The platform provides intelligence-based analysis, counterterrorism insights, and investigative reports.

The project is committed to presenting an accurate portrayal of the threats in the Middle East without equating state defense actions with terrorism. The coverage rejects false moral equivalence between Israel’s right to self-defense and the activities of terrorist organizations.
