CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed. “US Vice President JD Vance is in Israel, meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid concerns over the Gaza ceasefire deal.”

The peace plan for Israel and Gaza calls for the disarmament of Hamas. That will be difficult to implement, says Hans-Jakob Schindler of the Counter Extremism Project: “Hamas has been maneuvering from the outset because it does not want to relinquish power in Gaza.”

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed about the clashes between Hamas and Israel and the current status of the deal.

Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project believes that disarming Hamas is currently a distant prospect. Speaking on ZDF's Morgenmagazin program, the terrorism expert said: “Hamas has repeatedly stated that it is prepared to relinquish administrative responsibility in the Gaza Strip – but not its weapons.”

Hamas is consolidating its claim to power following the agreement with Israel, says terrorism expert [CEP Senior Director] Hans-Jakob Schindler on ZDF's Morgenmagazin program.

Following the partial withdrawal of the Israeli army, Hamas is now taking bloody revenge on those who were not loyal to it, says security expert [CEP Senior Director] Hans-Jakob Schindler.

In an interview with WELT, terrorism expert and Senior Director of the Counter Extremism Project Hans-Jakob Schindler warned that the second phase of the ceasefire in the Gaza war is the biggest hurdle. Without the planned Arab-led stabilization force to provide security, the power vacuum will – and already is – generate ISIS-style violence and humanitarian concerns. The situation presents risks of prolonged instability, civilian casualties, and potential exploitation by extremist elements, with implications for regional security and U.S. diplomatic initiatives.
