"According to the Counter Extremism Project the group is 'dedicated to eradicating Israel' and 'establishing an autonomous Islamic Palestinian state' in the lands currently comprising Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza"

"For German diplomacy, the aim is to 'influence all sides to bring this conflict to an end as quickly as possible. In such a way that Israel's security is guaranteed and at the same time a future perspective is created for the Palestinians.' This is how Hans-Jakob Schindler from the international organization Counter Extremism Project summarizes the task of the Berlin Foreign Ministry to DW."

"When warning about civilian casualties from the Israeli offensive, Western governments are also thinking about the dangers of regional escalation. 'Hamas is interested in producing horrific images of dead Palestinian civilians and thereby dragging Iran and its proxies into this conflict,' Hans-Jakob Schindler from the international organization Counter Extremism Project recently told Deutsche Welle."

"As for the impact of the strikes, 'Unfortunately, targeting these leaders will …l make a dent in the short run, eventually they will be replaced, given the nature of Hamas, which is dedicated to an ideology,' said Josh Lipowsky, senior research analyst with the Counter Extremism Project."

"Director of The Counter Extremism Project, Hans-Jakob Schindler, believes Israel will target Hamas’s military and political leadership but will take aim at its military commanders first."

CEP Researcher Joshua Fisher-Birch interviewed: "Encrypted messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp have been a huge source of misinformation and disinformation in the Israel-Hamas war. Misinformation experts say it’s because they are difficult to moderate."

[Translated from German] "That's exactly what Hamas' calculations are, analyzes Hans-Jakob Schindler from the international organization Counter Extremism Project: 'Hamas is interested in producing terrible images of dead Palestinian civilians and thereby dragging Iran and its proxies into this conflict,' Schindler told Deutsche Welle."

"'Hezbollah has successfully embedded itself into every aspect of Lebanese society—politically, economically, socially, and militarily,' Josh Lipowsky, senior research analyst at the Counter Extremism Project, told The Epoch Times.
'Hezbollah is the strongest military force in the country and holds enough sway in the parliament that it can hold the country hostage by freezing government processes.'"
 

CEP CEO Mark D. Wallace quoted: "But some voices are being raised to reassess Western ties with Qatar. Mark Wallace, a former US ambassador to the UN, was quoted in The Telegraph as calling for assets linked to the Qatari state and royal family to be frozen 'until the Qataris turn over the worst of the worst terror leaders in the world.'

According to Wallace, 'The Qataris should be ostracized and their role should forever change in the world, given what happened.'

But, as Wallace well knows, there is a big difference between what should happen and what will happen, and the likelihood of the West treating Qatar as a pariah is slim – though some perceptions of the oil-rich kingdom are undoubtedly changing."
