Egypt and the Levant

Analyzing shifting dynamics and their implications for U.S. policy in Syria, Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Jordan, and Lebanon.

The Middle East Program houses much of CSIS’s expertise related to Syria and its neighborhood, and also leads CSIS’s analysis of Egypt—the Arab world’s most populous state. The International Security Program, the Transnational Threats Project, and the Burke Chair in Strategy conduct work on Egypt and the Levant through the lens of their respective thematic areas.
