"According to the experts of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) France and Qatar’s relationship deepened in 2024 with a €10 billion investment agreement, marking a strategic partnership. While the partnership boosts the French economy, particularly in luxury, sports, and real estate sectors, it raises concerns about Qatar’s influence on French policies. Qatar’s financial ties to Islamist groups like Hamas complicate the partnership, especially amid the ongoing Gaza conflict. Experts claim that Qatar’s growing leverage can affect France’s foreign policy stance, particularly as protests and public opinion in France grow increasingly pro-Gaza."

“The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar could have a decisive influence on the conflict in the Gaza Strip - but only for a short time. Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler examines the consequences and opportunities that now arise for Israel and the region.
