Pulse
MENA politics is fluid. Parties merge, split, reform; leaders are elected, dismissed, or killed; regimes fall. The party and politician pages capture the dataset as it stands now; Pulse captures the movement — what just happened, what's under way, what's rumored but not yet formal. Each event carries a confidence rating and the same per-field source citations as every other Tayyar entity.

Jordan September 10, 2024 Jordan: Islamic Action Front wins biggest opposition bloc since the 1989 thaw
Jordan's first elections under a reformed party law gave the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing — the Islamic Action Front — 31 of 138 lower-house seats, its strongest showing in three decades. The vote came eleven months into the Gaza war, with Jordanians increasingly angry at the government's management of the relationship with Israel; the IAF campaigned almost entirely on solidarity with Gaza. Turnout was 32%, low by international standards, high by recent Jordanian ones.
