CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson quoted: "Among those outraged by the move was Enniskillen native Ian Acheson, an expert on prisons and extremism, who had been serving as an adviser to outgoing cabinet member, Michael Gove.

In a resignation letter published in part by The Telegraph, Mr Acheson said he felt Mr Sunak’s actions were “a colossal act of disrespect,” with the Fermanagh author stating he would always put “country before party.”

"There have been a number of warnings from FBI director Chris Wray that the terrorism picture in the U.S. is worsening.

The arrest of foreign nationals with alleged links to terror organizations here in the U.S. may prove his point.

In this week’s edition of “The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent JJ Green,” Dr. Hans Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project, says this is a huge warning that shouldn’t be ignored."

"However, experts warn against taking this approach as an example: "The Taliban are always very willing to accept advance payments, but if they offer something in return, things get very complicated," Hans-Jakob Schindler from the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) in The Hague told Deutsche Welle. And German Afghanistan expert Thomas Ruttig also suspects in an interview with the broadcaster that "a kind of salami tactic" would appeal to the Taliban."

""Everyone is going to look at Germany during those couple of weeks when we have the championship here," Hans-Jakob Schindler of the Counter Extremism Project told DW.

"That means our adversaries are going to try to do whatever they can to disrupt this."

Fears of a terrorist attack on the Euros have increased since an attack on a concert hall in Moscow earlier this year claimed by an offshoot of the so-called "Islamic State" group left 145 people dead. A threat subsequently published in an IS propaganda magazine suggested the Euros tournament was a target. Still, Schindler said the public nature of that threat makes it less likely that a coordinated attack is planned."

“Is this the beginning of the end of the Gaza war? On Monday, the UN Security Council adopted a ceasefire proposal in Gaza from US President Joe Biden. 14 countries agreed, only Russia abstained. Israel has been fighting the terrorist organization Hamas for eight months, and the international community is desperately looking for a way to end the war. The hope now is that the actors involved - Israel and Hamas - will also support the plan. It could not only be a step towards resolving the conflict in the Middle East, but could also be important for Biden's election campaign. […] "While Hamas would give up its guarantee of survival by releasing the hostages, Israel would have to release a considerable number of Palestinian prisoners, which could be exploited by Hamas for propaganda purposes," says Hans-Jakob Schindler of the international Counter Extremism Project.”

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson referenced: "Ian Acheson, who has advised the communities secretary on extremism, said the Prime Minister’s choice to leave for an election TV interview was a “colossal act of disrespect” to the war veterans at what could be the last event they attend."

"Hans-Jakob Schindler, a Middle East expert at Counter Extremism Project (CEP), believes Russia's Foreign Ministry might be expecting something in return for delisting the Taliban as a terrorist group. But that might be easier said than done."

"Hans-Jakob Schindler, an expert on the Middle East at the international organization "Counter Extremism Project" (CEP), says that although he is not familiar with the internal decision-making processes of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it can be assumed that Russia expects some form of quid pro quo for the offer to remove the Taliban from its terrorist list."

"Munich –  For days, the country was worried about Rouven Laur – but the police officer did not survive the knife attack in Mannheim. It is now known that Sulaiman A.'s attack was motivated by Islamism. Shortly before the European Football Championship, the incident is fuelling fears of further attacks. Hans-Jakob Schindler, former UN terrorism expert and director of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), assesses the terror threat in an interview."

"Extremism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) finds this irresponsible. "Twitter is not just any darknet service; anyone could see it and use it," said Schindler in an interview with this editorial team. "The fact that the brutal video spread so quickly on X and can still be found is fueling the debates and conflicts." In fact, hundreds of comments, some of them extreme, quickly piled up under the posts showing the video - many with xenophobic content or from the radical Islamist corner. Others, however, spread fake news because they had simply misinterpreted the scenes."
