CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: "We have seen that Saudi Arabia in the last couple of months has voluntarily intercepted Houthi missiles flying to Israel. We have seen Saudi Arabia playing a fairly constructive role in trying to calm the tensions around the Gaza conflict. So this is, in my understanding, the reason for this policy shift."

"Recently, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) received funding from the Mayor of London’s Office to deliver the award winning ‘Nobody’s Listening’ virtual reality experience in educational settings across London."
"'This is a right-wing extremist, deeply anti-Semitic movement that is directed against a free democratic basic order,' says terror expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) in an interview with IPPEN.MEDIA ."

"ISIS-K militants have been captured in a series of arrests in Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe over the past three years, according to Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project, a trans-Atlantic think tank."

"The assassination of a Hamas leader in Beirut and a terror attack in Iran have triggered fears of an explosion of attacks throughout the region. Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Sr. Director at the Counter-Extremism Project says the attack in Iran is unprecedented.

"In this week’s episode of 'The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent JJ Green,' senior director at the Counter Extremism Project Hans-Jakob Schindler says the attack near the gravesite of Qassem Solemani, a former top Iranian military leader was 'unprecedented.'"

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "No one is talking about these clandestine arrivals who have melted into the background, traumatised, exploited, enslaved. Yet they will include tomorrow’s violent extremists who do or will pose a threat to national security. We have literally no idea where these people are or the level of threat they pose. We do know that failed asylum seekers who do make it into the system and somehow remain stuck there, sometimes for years, have committed terrorist acts that have stunned this country."
"Former prison governor, Professor Ian Acheson (inset) of the Counter Extremism Project, has also spoken out against the commissioner’s proposal – saying that any form of equivalence between the two groups would be the 'antithesis of reconciliation'."
CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: Saleh al-Arouri "has been in Beirut as the quasi-Hamas ambassador to Hezbollah and one of the key liaison individuals of Hamas to the Islamic Republic of Iran...so really a key, very experienced organizer and leader of the Hamas movement."

"Al-Arouri was a founding member of the West Bank armed wing of Hamas and a financier of the group, according to the Counter Extremism Project. Al-Arouri was also designated as a terrorist by the United States and had a bounty of $5 million issued in 2018 for information leading to his capture, the Project added."
