Dear Friend of MEMRI,
On August 31, 2023, I published an early warning about the looming regional war in September-October. The document below is aimed at prompting preparation for the coming global storm.
It has been nine months of war, but not only in Gaza. It is also across the Middle East, and it is against American forces, American shipping, and America's allies – Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan. The aggressors belong to the bloc of Iran and its proxies in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq, which are themselves all part of the larger bloc of Russia, China, and North Korea. This larger bloc threatens America's allies in the Pacific – South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Australia. And the situation is nearing the flashpoint.
The conflict has also reached the home front, the West: America, Canada, and Europe. Terror-supporting organizations operated and assisted by Qatar – which is also part of the Iran-Russia-China bloc and is not an ally of the U.S. – are violently disrupting daily life and undermining national security in every Western country, and particularly in America.
The moment of unavoidable global conflict is near. And what will be most needed in the Western countries where the rule of law prevails is legal evidence. This has been, is, and will remain MEMRI's role. We are working 24/7, and we have to continue to work no less than 24/7 at the same intensity to obtain the information that will be required for this battle.
Over the last nine months, MEMRI has been operating in emergency mode. Despite the difficulties we face, we have considerably increased our output, surpassing other Washington, D.C.-based think tanks with more resources and staff. We have reached the point where, after these nine months covering all fronts, monitoring Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Urdu, Russian, and Chinese sources, we have exhausted our resources. We are in a situation in which we need significant help, far beyond how you have helped us in the past (and for which we are extremely grateful). The support we need now is on a completely different level – an emergency level – in order to be able to do what we have done in the past and to carry out our new missions as they emerge as a result of the crisis on all fronts aimed against America and its allies.
See below MEMRI's massive output since October 7:

Israel, the U.S., and the West stand before their greatest danger in decades. In the face of the coming storm, MEMRI must rise to massive challenges unlike any we have experienced in all our 25 years, and we urgently need your help to meet them. Few realize how exacting and demanding MEMRI's research is, in that it supports law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Please enable us to fulfill our duty and to obtain the information that only we can provide for facing the coming storm. Please donate ASAP.
