"The recognition of Palestine is currently a purely political signal that will further isolate Israel politically," Hans-Jakob Schindler, Senior Director at the Berlin-based think tank Counter Extremism Project, told our editorial team. "The recognition of Palestine is currently also about the Palestinian Authority gaining full membership of the United Nations - beyond its current observer status." However, only the UN Security Council can make a final decision on this. A vote to this effect is likely to fail due to a veto by the USA.

This has also affected the militia's financial basis in Lebanon, says security expert and terrorism researcher Hans Jakob Schindler. "Although these sources of income are of significant importance to the terrorist group, it is not facing financial collapse," says the head of the non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project.  This is because the terrorist organization also receives support from abroad. Since it was founded in 1988, Hezbollah has benefited from financial and military support from Tehran and has expanded its international networks. Among other things, it engages in drug trafficking and money laundering for organized crime and collects donations worldwide despite sanctions. "This guarantees the group's financial survival, albeit most likely at a reduced size," says Schindler.

Russian drones are increasingly appearing over German military bases and the routes of arms transports to Ukraine. The media report systematic espionage. Germany is said to be inadequately prepared for the resulting dangers. In an interview with ZDFheute live, security and intelligence expert Hans-Jakob Schindler explains how Russia operates and what weaknesses German authorities have. Russia's espionage is about assessing and gradually destroying the fighting power of its opponents. The aim is "also to undermine cohesion within an opposing society, in this case Germany". To achieve this, Moscow relies on "misinformation and disinformation, propaganda, but also by spreading fear", explains Schindler.

The Other Russia of E.V. Limonov is an unregistered party founded in 2010 by Eduard Limonov. According to the Counter Extremism Project, the party subscribes to National Bolshevism and promotes the occupation of territories inhabited by Russian speakers in post-Soviet countries. The group has also been sending fighters to fight against Ukraine since 2014.

The youth organization of the NPD successor party Die Heimat, Junge Nationalisten (JN), for example, relies on decentralized "Tiktok divisions" in addition to numerous newly founded so-called Revolte local groups, as a digital report by the Else-Frenkel-Brunswik-Institut (EFBI) in Leipzig noted. These groups "pursue a sophisticated social media strategy by using youth-oriented aesthetics such as bomber jackets, sneakers, combat boots or fashwave looks and combining topics such as migration with identity and self-valorization offers", writes Alexander Ritzmann from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP).
