At the heart of ITME's commitment to Middle Eastern geopolitical education is the ITME HUB, an dynamic and ever evolving platform with an array of intelligence-based tools.

Available in Arabic, English, and Hebrew, this non-partisan and apolitical hub delivers deep geopolitical analysis, allowing users to truly grasp the region's intricate dynamics.

Beyond traditional analysis, the HUB provides diverse mediums—articles, interviews, podcasts, portals, primers, and videos—that encapsulate the region's interconnected narratives.

By placing a spotlight on perspectives often overshadowed by Western media, ITME offers an unparalleled depth of insight.

Avi Melamed's exclusive resources further enhance this platform, aiding users in discerning not only the immediate news but its broader global implications.

In essence, ITME doesn't just present facts; it equips users with the tools to connect the dots and comprehend the multifaceted nature of the Middle East.

From 2013 - 2018, Avi served as the Salisbury Fellow of Intelligence and Middle East Affairs for the Eisenhower Institute. Under his leadership, ITME grew from an undergraduate initiative, to include workshops and seminars from High Schools to Capitol Hill and Jewish communal leadership, directly impacting the outlook, educational path, and career trajectory of more than 200 current and future leaders.

In its sixth year - now an independent 501c3, ITME has the same mission - to provide a non-partisan education on the contemporary Middle East while teaching critical analysis in an innovative and engaging fashion. ITME’s goal is to ensure that the next generation of policy influencers will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and tools to independently and accurately decipher the Middle East and accurately predict the direction of future events.
