Watch the video: Interior Minister Faeser – more than 1,100 crimes registered during protests about the Middle East conflict.
Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD): “Over 1,100 crimes have been registered nationwide in this context since Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel. I emphasize that these are preliminary figures from the states and that investigations are underway everywhere. We support the police forces of the states with strong forces Federal police, currently especially in Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen and Düsseldorf, in order to cope with the gathering situations. The clear line still applies here: In Germany everyone is of course allowed to express their opinions freely and demonstrate peacefully. But there is a clear red line: “No tolerance whatsoever for anti-Semitic and anti-Islam and anti-Israel incitement and no tolerance for violence. Where this is possible, a ban on gatherings must continue to be imposed in order to prevent terrorist propaganda and violence.” // “Furthermore, all police options must be used to take immediate, tough action when Hamas’ terror is glorified. And all residency options must be used. If we can expel Hamas supporters, then we must do the same. Ours A particularly strong focus continues to be on the protection of Jewish institutions. The attack with incendiary devices on the synagogue in Berlin was a heinous act that showed how important the increased protective measures are. We continue to be in close contact with the federal states here. Protection Jewish institutions is our top priority as security authorities. The vast majority of Muslims in Germany firmly reject the terror of Hamas. We must continue to seek dialogue with them so that hatred has no chance to spread and with it social cohesion can be preserved in Germany. However, I also want to say this very clearly, we also expect from the Muslim associations a crystal-clear condemnation of the hatred, the incitement and, above all, the barbaric acts of Hamas.”
