The Middle East conflict also affects the security situation in this country. According to Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD), the threat of terrorism in Germany will not decrease any time soon.
According to Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD), the threat of terrorism in Germany will only decrease again after the Gaza war ends. “Events like the current war in the Middle East also affect our security,” Faeser told the newspapers of the Funke media group, according to the preliminary report on Sunday. “The threat of terrorism does not necessarily increase with the length of the war. But one thing is clear: the threat of terrorism remains high as long as the war between Israel and Hamas continues.”
Danger from lone perpetrators remains high
“We have an increased risk of Islamist terrorism,” Faeser continued. That’s why the security authorities took such strong protective measures around Christmas when there was a threat of attack at Cologne Cathedral.
The danger from individual perpetrators who become radicalized online also remains “very high,” said the Federal Interior Minister. That is why the Federal Criminal Police Office is taking strong action against terrorist propaganda on the Internet and is blocking channels on the online platform Telegram, for example.
