“Lucas Webber, a research fellow and a senior threat intelligence analyst at Tech Against Terrorism, said he had been monitoring online IS chatter since Trump’s victory to glean their reactions. He says the terror group was actively “crafting its rhetoric and strategy to capitalise on and exploit trends”, which includes global reactions to the Trump v Kamala Harris election.

“Since the election, some [IS] supporter discussions have weighed the pros and cons of a Trump administration foreign policy approach,” said Webber, “with a segment of followers suggesting that a peace deal with Ukraine would strengthen Russia and greater support for Israel would be worse for Palestine.”"
