In 2024, We've Achieved Unprecedented Impact: |
| MEF's Michael Rubin testified before Congress exposing widespread fraud in major human rights organizations, revealing how groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have compromised their credibility through corrupted methodology, falsehoods, and pay-to-play schemes. |
| At a MEF-organized Israel Victory Caucus event in the Knesset, former U.S. Ambassador David Friedman joined Israeli lawmakers and MEF director Gregg Roman to advocate for countering Iran's regional influence through strategic proxy warfare, one day before Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress on defeating Iran and its proxies. |
| MEF's Israel Victory Project poll found 70% of Israelis want Hamas eliminated as the primary objective of Operation Swords of Iron, with 68% supporting the ground invasion. The poll revealed divided opinions on Gaza's post-Hamas governance between Israeli control, Palestinian Authority, Arab nations, or new local leadership. |
| MEF released a comprehensive Middle East policy blueprint for the next Trump administration, recommending renewed maximum pressure on Iran, enhanced border security measures, strengthened regional alliances, and a new commission to counter Islamist networks while supporting Israel's security objectives. |
Published investigations exposing Tim Walz's connections to pro-Hamas clerics at Fox News, New York Post and Jerusalem Post. |
Successfully advocated for Florida legislation suspending cooperation with Islamist Council on American Islamic Relations across state agencies. |
| MEF founder Daniel Pipes released a groundbreaking book "Israel Victory," arguing that peace can only be achieved through Palestinian acceptance of defeat rather than through conciliation, with foreword by Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon and endorsements from prominent authors. |
Hosted over 150 podcasts and webinars reaching audiences of up to 20,000 viewers. |
Expanded our research capabilities with over 1.5 million new data points added to our proprietary Islamist network database. |
MEF Director Gregg Roman testified before Israel's Knesset on strengthening U.S.-Israel cooperation against emerging threats through joint cybersecurity initiatives, countering foreign influence operations, and supporting strategic regional allies. One day later, U.S. intelligence officials confirmed increased Iranian influence operations on U.S. campuses. |
