The Middle East Monitor (MEMO) is a not-for-profit press monitoring organisation[1] and lobbying group[2][3] that emerged in mid 2009.[4] MEMO is largely focused on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, but writes about other issues in the Middle East as well. MEMO is pro-Palestinian in orientation,[5][6][7] and has been labelled by some commentators as pro-Islamist,[8][9] pro-Muslim Brotherhood,[10][11] and pro-Hamas.[12][13]

MEMO is financed by the State of Qatar.[14][15] It's Director is Daud Abdullah, former Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain[16][17] and the current director of British Muslim Initiative.[18]
