"Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former senior United Nations counterterrorism official who is a senior adviser at the Counter Extremism Project, a non-governmental organisation, warned it appeared to be getting 'harder and harder to prevent escalation each time'."
"Sir Ivor Roberts, senior adviser to UANI and the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), also spoke to The Sun about a possible retaliation to this week's developments."
"Would Israel's missile defense system 'Iron Dome' withstand an attack from different fronts? 'The 'Iron Dome' offers sufficient protection in the current situation, but in the event of a broad confrontation with Hezbollah, the system would very likely be overloaded,' Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director at the Berlin think tank Counter Extremism Project, told our editorial team."
Today, Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Chief Executive Officer Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and CEP President Frances F. Townsend released the following statement regarding the death in Tehran of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh:

He told the Tagesspiegel newspaper: "At the moment, it is not only in the interest of Hezbollah, but also in the interest of Iran, which is Hezbollah's main sponsor , to keep tensions with Israel as high as possible.”
CEP Senior Research Analyst Josh Lipowsky writes: "While investigators have blamed Hezbollah and its Iranian backers for the heinous terror attack, even now, 30 years later, justice has remained elusive for the victims of the AMIA bombing. No arrests have been made. Hezbollah remains a threat to global security. And Iran continues to sponsor terrorism around the world."
