Middle East Forum: U.S. Government Provides Millions to Malaysia’s Muslim Brotherhood
The late Qaradawi served as spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and was best known, the Counter Extremism Project notes, for advocating “the murder of Americans, gay people, and Jews through his writings, speeches, and fatwas.” In 2022, Ibrahim posted on Twitter a video of him speaking with Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the U.S. designated terrorist group Hamas. Speaking in English, Ibrahim states that his own election victory is also a victory for the “Palestinians and the ummah” and pledged to “work together, inshallah, to redeem the lost image and also role of the ummah.” Ibrahim subsequently also spoke to Hamas’s political leader Khaled Meshal, former chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau.
DW News: Are new social media algorithms ‘accelerating radicalization’ and boosting extremists?
CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed on the 10th anniversary of the Paris terror attacks: “France is marking the 10th anniversary of the Paris terror attacks by Islamic State Jihadists, who killed more 130 people and wounded hundreds more.

Jerusalem Post: Can the IDF avert an explosion of terror in the West Bank?
Terror threats in the West Bank appear to be growing. Over the last year, the IDF has been able to keep most of these threats in check. However, with a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel relaxing its guard slightly, it’s possible that enemies may try to take advantage of the situation. On Thursday, reports said that the IDF, police and security services were able to thwart a major terror cell in Bethlehem. Reports noted that “the months-long investigation led to the arrest of approximately 40 Hamas operatives during more than 15 operations, carried out by IDF reservists from the Etzion Brigade, the elite Duvdevan unit and counterterror forces. During the raids, weapons including M16 rifles were seized.”
Times of Israel: Israel-haters’ incendiary rebranding of Zionism
Around the Birmingham, England, stadium where Aston Villa played a European soccer match against Maccabi Tel Aviv last week, anti-Israel activists had plastered posters branding Zionism illicit, murderous and terrorist in its nature and essence. Various placards proclaimed “Zionists not welcome,” accused Israel of “shooting babies in Gaza,” demanded “Give Zionism the red card” — soccer parlance for removal from the field of play for illicit behavior — and, perhaps most pernicious of all, instructed: “If you see a Zionist, call the anti-terror hotline.”

As the conflagration over the Epstein files rages within Republican ranks, another obsession of the far right threatens unity in the Trump coalition: the stalled investigation into the planting of pipe bombs outside party headquarters in Washington the night before Jan. 6, 2021. Administration officials — most notably the F.B.I. deputy director, Dan Bongino — have pushed back hard against a report from the The Blaze, a far-right news outlet founded by Glenn Beck, that named a law enforcement official as the suspect based on a computer analysis of the way the person walked. The crime remains unsolved.

Jewish Insider: Brandeis Center hosts first legal summit to strategize over antisemitism cases
The historic rise of antisemitism brought on by the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks has posed a unique set of challenges to lawyers litigating incidents targeting Jewish students and employees. More than 60 attorneys and heads of Jewish legal organizations gathered on Monday for an inaugural legal summit in Manhattan, hosted by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, to discuss questions including: how to effectively present a case to a judge that may not have experience with antisemitism or anti-Israel issues; how to determine when free speech turns into harmful conduct; and how lawsuits might change now that the Israel-Hamas war has ended.

Algemeiner: Academic Associations Fail to Address Antisemitism, New ADL Report Finds

"We must confront our opponents wherever necessary," Jäger demanded. "We will take higher risks in a targeted and consistent manner." The service will become more operational and more compatible with its European and international partner services.
ARD: Extreme left-wing group: US adds German "Antifa-Ost" to terror list

Times of Israel: Hamas reinstates fees on imported goods, raises taxes as it reasserts control in Gaza
From regulating the price of chicken to levying fees on cigarettes, Hamas is seeking to widen control over Gaza as US plans for its future slowly take shape, Gazans say, adding to rivals’ doubts over whether it will cede authority as promised. After a ceasefire began last month, Hamas swiftly reestablished its hold over areas from which Israel withdrew, killing dozens of Palestinians it accused of collaborating with Israel, theft, or other crimes. Foreign powers demand the terror group disarm and leave government, but have yet to agree on who will replace them.
Jerusalem Post: Hamas terrorists intentionally stayed in IDF zone, security expert claims
As negotiators argue over maps and timelines, one of the most sensitive tests of Gaza’s US-brokered ceasefire is unfolding out of sight, deep under Rafah. Israeli and foreign officials estimate that around 100 to 200 Hamas terrorists are holed up in a tunnel network on the Israeli-controlled side of the so-called “Yellow Line” in southern Gaza, unable to move back into Hamas-run territory without surfacing into areas patrolled by the Israel Defense Forces. For Washington, what happens to those men is more than a tactical problem; for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, it has become a political red line.

Reuters: Paramilitary force pushes east in new escalation of Sudan's war
The paramilitary force battling the army in Sudan's civil war is shifting its focus eastward after consolidating its grip over Darfur last month, reigniting violence and launching drone attacks across the country's oil-producing southern areas. Escalating drone strikes and new deployments of troops and weapons by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the army suggest both sides are now centring their efforts on Kordofan, a region comprised of three states that serves as a buffer between the RSF's western Darfur strongholds and the army-held states in the east.

Reactive lawmaking and off-the-cuff ideas won’t deal with the problem, says Levi West, a counter-terrorism expert and researcher at ANU.
