In 2023, Dutch intelligence agencies, along with other Western intelligence services, successfully thwarted at least 10 jihadist attacks across Europe. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as incidents of Koran burning by far-right groups, were cited as significant factors increasing the threat level. These events have led terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda and ISIS to intensify calls for attacks in Western countries. The Dutch agency AIVD highlighted the growing concerns about polarization and the rising threats from various extremist groups, including those from China, noting that jihadists remain the #1 threat.
