Email from Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Global News on Extremism and Terrorism Eye on Extremism September 8, 2025   Top Stories Times of Israel: Six killed, 6 seriously injured in Jerusalem as terrorists open fire on bus, pedestrians Six people were murdered Monday and 12 were wounded, six of them seriously, when a pair of Palestinian terrorists opened fire on vehicles and pedestrians in Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction. The two gunmen, residents of the West Bank, arrived at the junction shortly after 10 a.m. — according to some reports, by car — and opened fire at people waiting at a bus stop as well at a bus that had just stopped there. Police said that a soldier and a number of civilians who were present at the scene fired at the terrorists and killed them. The military said the soldier was an off-duty squad commander in the military’s new Hasmonean Brigade, a unit for ultra-Orthodox troops. The Telegraph: One in five Britons now anti-Semitic, study finds More than one in five Britons now hold or agree with anti-Semitic views, a study has found. The study found that 21 per cent of the public affirmed four or more anti-Semitic statements, compared to 16 per cent last year. In 2021, the figure was just 11 per cent. Researchers said the findings showed that the number of people holding what would be considered entrenched anti-Semitic views has doubled in less than five years to more than a fifth of the population. The figures are the highest since similar surveys began a decade ago.

"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. Asharq News: Iran's nuclear program: Tehran opens the door to negotiations, and the West awaits the outcome Counter Extremism Project Senior Director, Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, interviewed: “Iran's announcement of its readiness to enter into a new nuclear agreement has sparked widespread debate about its true motives, ranging from an attempt to de-escalate tensions and appease its economically troubled domestic situation to a desire to guarantee its nuclear rights under international law. While Europe advocates negotiation as the preferred option, Washington and Tehran remain at a crossroads that could pave the way for a settlement or a new confrontation.” Analysis Jerusalem Post: Jerusalem terror attack highlights ongoing threat from West Bank terrorists The attack illustrates how Jerusalem continues to sit on the frontline of terror threats that emanate from the West Bank. In the wake of the attack, the IDF encircled several areas on the outskirts of Ramallah. Ramallah is a Palestinian city north of Jerusalem. It serves as an administrative capital for the Palestinian Authority. There have long been clashes and tensions in the areas between Ramallah and Jerusalem, such as the large Qalandieh checkpoint that divides the two cities. That checkpoint is near the Qalandieh camp, a warren of small streets and homes that is awash in illegal weapons. Jerusalem Post: How did the Houthis hit Ramon Airport with a drone? In other words, the strike on Ramon Airport could also have come from a loss of resources and attention from Yemen, given that the "head of the snake," Iran, had been defeated. In general, Ramon Airport would not have as many defenses as Ben-Gurion since it is a much smaller local airport, and not Israel’s major strategic international hub. Whatever the reason, if Israel does not take the Houthis seriously and realize that the Yemen terror group can adjust and try to surprise Jerusalem, there could be more similar incidents in the future, and some might even end in a deadlier fashion. United States Reuters: After issuing 'last warning' to Hamas, Trump eyes Gaza deal 'soon' U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested a Gaza deal could come soon to secure the release of all the hostages held by Hamas, after earlier issuing what he called his "last warning" to the Palestinian militant group. Trump, speaking to reporters after landing in the Washington area on Sunday evening following a brief trip to New York, said he had been discussing the issue on the plane. "We're working on a solution that may be very good," he said. He declined to give further details. "You'll be hearing about it pretty soon. We're trying to get it ended, get the hostages back." Associated Press: Black man shot at while waiting to go to work says South Carolina needs hate crime law When Jarvis McKenzie locked eyes with the man in the car, he couldn’t understand the hate he saw. When the man picked up a rifle, fired over his head and yelled “you better get running, boy!” as he scrambled behind a brick wall, McKenzie knew it was because he is Black. McKenzie told his story a month after the shooting because South Carolina is one of two states along with Wyoming that don’t have their own hate crime laws. The Guardian: Rightwing conference reveals muddled lines between Trump and far right A rightwing conference recently saw theocratic Christian nationalists, far-right publishers and members of men-only secret societies speaking alongside the Missouri senator Eric Schmitt, the assistant attorney general for civil rights at Donald Trump’s Department of Justice and other senior Republican figures. CBS News: Chicago Human Relations Commission to hold hearing on crisis of antisemitism The Chicago Commission on Human Relations was set Monday to hold a public hearing on antisemitism.

The coordinated event was organized by the Appeal of Conscience Foundation and the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism. Europe ARD: Sharp decline in asylum applications Asylum applications in the European Union (EU) fell by 23 percent in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year. According to a report by the EU Asylum Agency (EUAA), 399,000 asylum applications were received by EU countries, Switzerland and Norway by the end of June. According to the report, the drastic decline is less to do with "political changes in the EU", according to the EUAA. Rather, it is a direct consequence of the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.For ten years, Syrians made up the largest group of asylum seekers. According to the report, their number has fallen by two thirds to 25,000 within just a few months. Most new arrivals came from Venezuela (49,000), followed by Afghanistan (42,000) and Syria. Only every fourth application was recognized. By the end of June, no decisions had been made on more than 900,000 applications in the first instance. Daily News Hungary: Romanian far-right leader calls Orbán “leader of Europe” Simion, the leader of Romania’s nationalist Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), spoke at the 34th Economic Forum in Karpacz, an event often referred to as the “Davos of the East”.

Reuters: France court to hear Le Pen appeal against political ban in January A Paris court ruled on Monday that French far-right leader Marine Le Pen's appeal trial against an embezzlement conviction that barred her from running in the 2027 election will start on January 13, keeping her presidential hopes alive. The appeal trial is expected to last around five weeks and the verdict is due before the summer in a case that could have a huge impact on the election to succeed President Emmanuel Macron. Germany BILD: SPD leader open to AfD ban Bas is in favor of taking up the Greens' offer of talks. A few days ago, the leaders of the Greens' parliamentary group invited the leaders of the CDU/CSU, SPD and the Left Party to joint consultations. On ARD's "Bericht aus Berlin", Bas made it clear: "That's what the Basic Law says, that's also a mandate. That's why we should at least always hold talks and then decide whether to go down this path. And that's why you shouldn't turn down an offer of talks." For CDU strategists, this is an affront - they fear that the debate alone will play into the hands of the AfD. This is because there is a great deal of skepticism within the CDU/CSU. The federal and state interior ministers recently set up a working group to examine how to deal with the AfD - but only if the new classification of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is confirmed in court. Many CDU politicians are critical of a ban procedure. WELT: "Increasing radicalization" - HU President expects new pro-Palestine protests at her university he President of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Julia von Blumenthal (55), expects renewed pro-Palestinian protests at her university in the winter semester. "The Middle East conflict, the war in Gaza, the fate of the Israeli hostages and the treatment of the Palestinians are still topical," Blumenthal told Evangelischer Pressedienst. She expects "events of all kinds": "The topic is understandably still very emotionalized." Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and the subsequent military counterattack by Israel, Humboldt-Universität has repeatedly been the scene of protests by pro-Palestinian activists. In May 2024, the Institute of Social Sciences was temporarily occupied and defaced with Hamas signs, among other things. In April, a historic lecture hall was vandalized. The property damage was considerable in each case. Deutsche Welle: CDU seeks incentives for Syrian refugees to return home Germany's conservative Christian Democrats are calling for more incentives for Syrian refugees to return to their homeland. According to the Interior Ministry, only 1,867 Syrians have returned to their homeland with federal support since the beginning of 2025 — despite the fall of the Assad regime at the end of 2024. Therefore, some CDU politicians want to promote voluntary departures, making returning to Syria a more attractive prospect than staying in Germany. DPA: AfD leader believes far-right party will govern Germany from 2029 The co-chief of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is optimistic that the anti-immigrant party will come out on top in the country's next general elections scheduled for 2029, according to remarks to supporters on Monday. "We will get this ship back into shape," Tino Chrupalla told some several hundred attendees at a political event in the Bavarian town of Abensberg. DPA: Bavarian leader warns AfD rise could destroy Germany, vows resistance Bavarian leader Markus Söder on Monday issued a stern warning over the rising popularity of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), as opinion polls suggest that support for the far-right party continues to grow following February's federal election.

United Kingdom The Times: Revealed after 24 years, how UK was forced to free 9/11 ‘plotter’ Scotland Yard was forced to release an alleged Saudi intelligence officer who provided financial backing and support to the 9/11 hijackers after the FBI failed to share crucial evidence. The Sunday Times can today reveal that counterterrorism officers who interviewed Omar al-Bayoumi after he was arrested in Birmingham — ten days after two aircraft crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York — were never given a potentially damning document and video linking him to the attacks. Reuters: UK police arrest around 425 at latest protest for banned Palestine Action British police arrested around 425 people on Saturday at a demonstration in support of Palestine Action, in the latest round of detentions of its supporters since the pro-Palestinian group was banned by the government as a terrorist organisation. Britain banned Palestine Action under anti-terrorism legislation in July after some of its members broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged military planes. The group, which has also targeted defence firms in Britain with links to Israel, accuses Britain's government of complicity in what it says are Israeli war crimes in Gaza. The Telegraph: Judge criticised for wishing 7/7 mastermind ‘well’ A senior judge has been criticised for wishing a mastermind of the 7/7 attacks “well”.

Jerusalem Post: UK deems Iran ‘core security priority’ as IRGC recruits men for terror activities Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) are recruiting men of Middle Eastern and Eastern European origin living in Britain to become terrorists via online grooming, The Daily Express claimed on Friday. According to its report, a specific branch of the IRGC is using the internet and social media to create a network of sleeper cells and lone-wolf operatives across the UK. “In Britain it’s not quite sleeper cells, it’s more the coordination of useful idiots… a lot of people who like the regime in Iran and want to do their dirty work for them," Andreas Krieg, Associate Professor of Security Studies at King's College, in London, told the Express. Jewish News Syndicate: London march draws tens of thousands amid antisemitism surge Tens of thousands of people marched through London on Sunday at a demonstration organized by the Campaign Against Antisemitism group amid rising antisemitism levels in the country.

Samer Elzaenen, who has appeared on the BBC’s Arabic channel more than a dozen times since the conflict erupted following the Oct 7 Hamas attacks, was quoted extensively as he accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon against Palestinians. Afghanistan KabulNow: Fear and Trauma Resurface as Taliban Display War Trophies in New Jihad Museum The Taliban have opened a “Jihad Museum” in northern Jawzjan province that displays explosives, including barrel bombs, explosives vests, and other items, a move that rights groups and residents say amounts to the public glorification of violence and risks normalizing instruments used to kill and maim civilians during Afghanistan’s long conflict. The museum was inaugurated by the Taliban’s provincial governor, who described it as an effort to “preserve historical and wartime heritage.” Taliban information officials said the exhibits aim to teach future generations about the country’s past. Afghanistan International: Taliban Prevent Female UN Staff From Entering UNAMA Offices In Kabul Taliban security forces barred female United Nations employees from entering the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) office in Kabul on Sunday, according to a source who spoke to Afghanistan International.

A UN survey found that enforcement by male family members has doubled over the past year, rising from 22 precent to 44 precent. Afghanistan International: Taliban Warn Aid Groups On Helping Women After Afghanistan Quake The Taliban governor’s office in Nangarhar has warned aid organisations not to photograph women or take actions that could provoke public “sensitivities” while assisting earthquake survivors.

Iraq Rudaw: Three suspected ISIS members arrested in Kirkuk Iraqi forces on Sunday arrested three suspected Islamic State (ISIS) members in the disputed province of Kirkuk, state media reported, saying they had conducted “many” attacks on security forces. The New Arab: Iraqi army launches sweeping operation to eliminate IS hideouts Iraqi forces have launched intensive operations to pursue remnants of the Islamic State [IS] group across several parts of the country, in a strategy aimed at dismantling the group's hideouts and potential movements. The campaign comes as US combat forces begin withdrawing from their bases in Iraq under a strategic agreement between the two countries, a step that increases the responsibility of Iraqi troops to secure the field while bracing for possible fallout. Israel Times of Israel: Israel said to strike Gaza buildings after Katz vows ‘hurricane in skies of Gaza City’ The Israeli military was reported to strike several Gaza buildings Monday morning, hours after Defense Minister Israel Katz said that “a powerful hurricane will hit the skies of Gaza City today, and the roofs of the towers of terror will shake.” There was no immediate comment by the Israel Defense Forces. In recent days the IDF has conducted several strikes on Gaza City high-rises it said were used by Hamas to conduct operations against troops, after warning residents to flee. On Monday, too, the army put out a warning for one such building. Jerusalem Post: Hamas, Islamic Jihad celebrate Jerusalem attack, call for escalation of 'resistance' Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other Palestinian terror organizations celebrated the Jerusalem terror attack at the Ramot Junction on Monday, which killed over six people and wounded scores of others.

"It is a natural response to the crimes of the occupation and the war of extermination it is waging against our people." DPA: Islamic Jihad fires rockets from Gaza at Israel The Palestinian Islamic Jihad militia fired rockets from the embattled Gaza Strip at Israel almost two years after the start of the Gaza War.

New York Times: Houthi Drone Hits Israeli Airport After Warning System Failure A drone attack launched by Houthi militants in Yemen shut down an airport in southern Israel for several hours on Sunday, and slightly injured two people, after an Israeli alert system failed to raise alarms about the incoming assault. The Israeli military said in a statement late Sunday that an initial inquiry indicated that the Air Force’s interception and alert systems had spotted a drone from Yemen that ultimately hit Ramon Airport, near the southern city of Eilat, but failed to classify it as hostile. “There is no indication of a technical malfunction,” the military said, adding that it would conduct an “extensive” follow-up investigation. Lebanon Kurdistan24: Lebanese Christian Bloc Urges Hezbollah to Disarm as Army Prepares Implementation Plan Lebanon’s leading Christian political party on Sunday renewed calls for Hezbollah to surrender its weapons to the state, as the Lebanese army moves forward with a government-ordered plan to disarm the Iran-backed group by the end of the year. Samir Geagea, head of the Lebanese Forces and leader of parliament’s main Christian bloc, said Hezbollah’s armed presence had proven counterproductive, particularly during the recent conflict with Israel. Naharnet: Geagea calls on Shiites to 'free themselves', tells Hezbollah to 'wake up' Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has told Hezbollah that its problem will not be with a party but rather with the state and the army, if it insists on keeping its arms. "We will no longer accept non-Lebanese decisions or allow one group to control the fate of the Lebanese people. Lebanon comes first, above all else," the christian leader said, days after Cabinet approved a plan prepared by the army to monopolize weapons in the war-hit country. Naharnet: Paris says Lebanon's move on disarmament plan a 'new positive step' France has called the cabinet's decision to ask the Lebanese Army to implement the disarmament plan "a new positive step." "France calls on all Lebanese actors to support the peaceful implementation of the plan without delay," the French foreign ministry said.

Australia Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Leaked records trace path from overseas Neo-Nazi groups to Australia's emboldened far-right It was in the middle of a scorching Californian summer, and Dallas Humber wasn't happy. She knew of an Australian who she claimed was prepared to carry out a mass casualty attack, but who didn't follow through. The Guardian: In Australia, racist violence is nothing new. But emboldened neo-Nazis form a frightening new spectre The text messages circulating around Sydney’s Sutherland shire in early December 2005 explained precisely the purpose of the gathering. “Just a reminder that Cronulla’s 1st wog bashing day is still on this Sunday,” one read. “Chinks bashing day is on the 27th and the Jews are booked in for early January.” On Sunday 11 December, more than 5,000 people, mostly young men, swarmed Cronulla beach. They wore Australian flags as capes, they had drawn the Eureka flag on their bodies. They were drinking alcohol and they were chanting – and they were beating up anyone who wasn’t white.
