German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser today (Thursday) banned Hamas activity in the country and also banned the activity of the "Samidoun" organization, which deals with the release of Palestinian prisoners in Germany and its dismantling.
"Anti-Semitism has no place in Germany. We will fight it in all forms and with all the means of the constitutional state," said Interior Minister Faeser.
The official goal of the Samidoun organization is to assist Palestinian prisoners in their struggle for release from Israeli prisons, but in practice, the organization serves as a "front" organization operating under the cover of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine abroad. It was established by its activists in 2012. Representatives of the organization operate in various countries in Europe and North America, and it is led by Khaled Barakat, one of the senior members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine abroad, who has been involved in establishing military cells and promoting terrorist activities in Judea and Samaria and abroad.
Germany has shown impressive support for Israel in the current conflict. Chancellor of Germany visited Israel two weeks ago, and during his visit, he tweeted on his Twitter account, "My visit to Israel is a visit to friends. Germany stands with Israel."
