The extreme right-wing terror threat persisted in 2023, though it continued to plateau as in recent years. The volume and scale of attacks declined, though there was a persistent problem of hate crime and right-wing violence which often escalated in response to events. The ideological motivations behind most extreme right-wing attacks were similar to the past years – white supremacist, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-Semitic tropes dominated, with recent events in Israel and Gaza creating a context in which these ideologies were able to flourish further. The immigrant crisis in Europe and the United States (US) continued to provide fuel for mainstream far right leaders to try to gain power, though it was notable how some far right European parties found themselves ousted from office. The looming 2024 US election and the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House remains the highest impact event that might awaken the threat once again. The current turmoil in the Middle East and Ukraine also has the potential to create a surge in extreme right-wing activity and violence.
