Israel's military massed troops on the border with Gaza as airstrikes pummeled the Palestinian enclave in the wake of Saturday's attack by Hamas.
Germany will ban all activities and organizations supporting Hamas, after days of anti-Israel protests in Berlin, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Thursday. Hamas is already labeled as a terrorist organization in Germany, but now Berlin will prohibit any activities in support of the group or its agenda, Scholz said in a speech to parliament.
The ban will apply to fundraising, the display of Hamas symbols and expressions of support for the group, including online posts and public statements. All German aid to Palestinians, which amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars a year, will now be probed for links to Hamas or terror financing, and no new funding will be released until the end of the review, Scholz said. “At this moment there is only one place for Germany: standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel,” Scholz said.
