LISTEN: Our friends @continetti of the @WSJ and @JSchanzer of @FDD join us today to discuss Saudi Arabia’s Houthi bind, the possibility of the entire region being dragged into the conflict, the controversy over the shutdown of Starshield, which limited Ukraine’s ability to strike Russia, and the possibility of renewed Israeli/American offensives on Iran.
Plus, more election talk, and Matt recommends The Strategist by Eliot A. Cohen.

A foreign bank with Iran as its third-largest shareholder has given over $17 million to at least 50 Islamic private K-12 schools in the United States. Along with these grants, the Islamic Development Bank works with the largest Islamic K-12 school accreditation organization in the U.S., the Council of Islamic Schools based in North America (CISNA).
🏫 America’s primary and secondary schools have become targets of foreign influence campaigns.
Over $10M in QFI grants have reached nearly two dozen school districts, mainly supporting Arabic language and culture instruction.

BREAKING: Washington has ordered all US embassy staff and their families to leave Saudi Arabia, a diplomatic source told @AFP
The families of embassy staff were also ordered to leave the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain.
New report from @FDD. A must read. Foreign funding has penetrated K-12.

Qatar says it doesn’t support the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood says otherwise.
On the FDD Morning Brief @EFischberger joins @JSchanzer to unpack how Doha backs the Brotherhood’s religious authority — the same body issuing fatwas calling for jihad against Israel and the West.

Qatar hosts a U.S. military base, funds Hamas, and bankrolls the Muslim Brotherhood — all at the same time. On today’s FDD Morning Brief, @JSchanzer sits down with @EFischberger to break down Doha’s duplicitous game. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1wxWjlNgB…

The riots in France are not random.
FDD Senior Envoy for Europe @srodan tells @JSchanzer that far-left groups, Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations, and organized agitators are behind coordinated attacks on French institutions. She calls it an insurrectionist effort to bring the republic down.

A great last night at @92ndStreetY on stage with @DrMichaelOren & Bret Stephens. This was a @SapirJournal debate on the question of whether US aid to Israel was still a good thing. Fascinating discussion. Video forthcoming.
