I’ve just received an email from an official of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) about a new project called Middle East Strategic Information. MESI is directed by Yehuda Avner, a former Israeli ambassador to the UK and Ireland. Its function is to provide information and analysis from an Israeli perspective on the Middle East as they relate to the UK and wider world.

It may on the surface seem to be a public relations exercise, but given that MESI is an initiative of the JCPA my impression is that it has some substance.
