The German security authorities carried out raids against suspected supporters of Hamas — a militant Islamist organization categorized as a terrorist organization by Germany, the EU, and some other countries — and the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network this week. Properties were searched in four states, with a focus on Berlin.
The move is an attempt to enforce the ban issued by German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser on November 2. “By banning Hamas and Samidoun in Germany, we have sent a clear signal that we will not tolerate any kind of glorification or support for Hamas’ barbaric terror against Israel,” said Faeser about the raids.
