“A lot of what I follow about the Middle East, I follow through AL-Monitor.”

-Chris Van Hollen

US Senator for Maryland

"For media with the least amount of bias, AL-Monitor is at the top. It's a go-to source for regional insight, especially on Gulf news and analysis."

-Yusuf Can

Coordinator for the Middle East Program, Wilson Center

“The timeliness, accuracy, and depth of AL-Monitor articles represent a unique resource on the Middle East. The information in these articles often provides insights obtained nowhere else and does so in invariably crisp and cogent presentations.”

-Norman Roule

Former senior US intelligence official, CEO of Pharos Consulting LLC

“I find the coverage and analysis from AL-Monitor to be extensive, on point and first rate; I very much depend on it to stay abreast of developments in the region. As a retired intelligence officer, the real value for me is that AL-Monitor goes beyond the news and provides insight, understanding and analysis. Frankly, it is my go-to site each morning.”

-Richard Baffa

Adviser, Jones Group Middle East

"After 25+ years of Middle East-focused studies and professional career, AL-Monitor has swiftly found its way into my daily routine of monitoring critical developments in the region and beyond. Content is empirically rich, form is fluid and coverage is balanced.”
