The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) has released a new report raising awareness of the potential threat from Qatar’s influence over nuclear research at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

“Qatar has been exerting nefarious and outsized influence across the West for decades. This report is the first of many to expose Qatar’s incredibly concerning and dangerous access to American security secrets,” said ISGAP executive director Charles Asher Small.

The report details how the Qatar Foundation gains complete ownership of technology and intellectual property developed at Texas A&M University of Qatar. And it analyzes grants that Qatar provided to Texas A&M totaling more than $750 million into what it described as “highly sensitive research areas.”

It also provides a history of the late Islamist/antisemitic scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi, known as the spiritual figurehead of the Muslim Brotherhood until his death in September 2022.

“This is the same president who moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, delivered the Abraham Accords peace agreements, tore up Obama’s disastrous JCPOA, ended the war in Gaza and brought all of the hostages home,” the group stated.
“All U.S. military blockade enforcement efforts have ceased,” U.S. Central Command stated.
“Somerville is not supposed to be conducting U.S. foreign policy,” Richard Rosen of the Brandeis Center told JNS.
The policy group praised U.S. and Israeli military gains against Iran but warned that the agreement lacks enforcement mechanisms, raises concerns about Hezbollah and should be submitted to Congress before receiving U.N. endorsement.
Police have located and arrested Zara Jabbi, 19, who is allegedly part of a criminals for hire network that has attacked synagogues and schools.
“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” the vice president told reporters.
