International Centre for Counter-Terrorism

21 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞. Not spikes tied to headlines - a steady, persistent drumbeat. ICCT, together with the European Jewish Congress's Security and Crisis Centre, spent 2025 tracking real-world antisemitic incidents across the EU, UK, and Switzerland: 254 in total, spanning vandalism, physical attacks, harassment, and hate speech. Julian Lanchès' analysis breaks down where incidents concentrated, what drove them, and how the terrorist threat facing Jewish communities in Europe spans a striking range of ideological milieus - from Iran-linked networks to jihadist and far-right extremism.

In the new episode of the ICCT-SACC SENTINEL podcast, Anne-Clémentine Larroque, lecturer in International Affairs at Sciences Po and author of Géopolitique des islamismes, maps a landscape far more fractured than it appears: some currents grew from the bottom up, others are state-backed; some encourage followers to build permanent roots in Europe, others preach eventual return to the Gulf. She also traces a harder throughline: antisemitism woven into the Muslim Brotherhood's founding opposition to Zionism, an enmity that hardened over decades even as its French proponents avoid antisemitic language in public today. 🔗 Listen now: https://buff.ly/Ol7UbVx

Director Thomas Renard reflects on what 2025 revealed about the terrorism landscape - and why the need for independent, evidence-based research has never been greater.

Tomorrow, Anne-Clémentine Larroque, lecturer in International Affairs at Sciences Po, joins the new episode of the ICCT-SACC SENTINEL podcast to map the differences - and trace one common thread: antisemitism.

The global terrorism landscape continues to evolve, from youth radicalisation and emerging technologies to terrorism financing and shifting regional security dynamics. Developed in cooperation with the T.M.C. Asser Instituut, the 16th edition of the Advanced Summer Programme on Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and the Rule of Law brings together leading academics and practitioners to explore these challenges through an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented lens. Keynoted by UN Special Rapporteur Professor Ben Saul, the Advanced Summer Programme is a wonderful opportunity to expand your knowledge and your network. 📍 The Hague 🗓️ 24–28 August 2026 Don't miss out - join a diverse international cohort of policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and students for a week of expert-led discussions, practical insights, and networking. 🔗 Learn more and register: https://buff.ly/uerL5bR Professor Ben Saul | Prof. Richard English | Thomas Renard | Nidal Nabil Jurdi, Ph D | Christophe Paulussen | Bàrbara Molas, Ph.D. | Tasniem Anwar | Fulco Van Deventer Valencia | Niki Siampakou | Ottavia G. | Elena Dal Santo | Machiko Kanetake #CounterTerrorism #Radicalisation

Earlier this month, ICCT published a Policy Brief by Varvara Pakhomenko examining how Russia's military courts, administrative designation systems, and financial compliance tools have expanded terrorism-related charges to capture non-violent conduct, political dissent, and wartime activity - often falling short of due process standards. Its warning still holds: Russia remains embedded in global counter-terrorism and financial governance frameworks, creating operational dependencies and legal risks for international partners relying on Russian-origin threat information.

In the new episode of ICCT-SACC SENTINEL, Camus, a leading expert on the French right and a member of the French Jewish community himself, maps a threat landscape shaped primarily by Islamist militancy, which has surged sharply since October 2023. He also unpacks a striking political realignment: parts of the French far-right positioning themselves as "friends of Israel," while segments of the far-left increasingly justify anti-Semitic incidents - leaving France's Jewish community, less than 1% of the population, with the most to lose from aligning with either extreme. 🔗 Listen now: https://buff.ly/danA8A1
