Share

Denmark and Germany said seven terror suspects, some said to be members of Hamas, have been arrested, suspected of plotting attacks on Jewish institutions across Europe amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. German prosecutors say three of the suspects arrested in Berlin and one arrested in the Netherlands are long-standing members of Hamas with close ties to the high ranks of the terror group.

Following the terrible attacks by Hamas on the Israeli population, attacks on Jews in Jewish institutions have also increased in our country in recent weeks.

However, a Hamas official denied any connection between the group and those who were arrested in Europe. In a statement to Reuters the spokesperson added, “publishing these allegations aims to influence the mass rallies that are supportive of Palestine in Europe.”

According to Danish police, three people were arrested on suspicion of plotting to carry out an “act of terror.”

It is unclear how or if the arrests in Denmark are connected to those made in Germany and the Netherlands.

German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann said in a statement that they must do everything they can to keep the Jewish community safe, adding attacks on Jewish institutions have increased in their country in recent weeks.

“Following the terrible attacks by Hamas on the Israeli population, attacks on Jews in Jewish institutions have also increased in our country in recent weeks,” Buschmann said. “We must therefore do everything we can to ensure that Jews in our country do not have to fear for their safety again.”
