Singapore’s Defense Minister: Gaza conflict incites new generation of terrorists 

Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum on Tuesday, Singapore's defense minister Ng Eng Hen warned that the war in Gaza has created a new generation of potential terrorists.

“It’s been difficult for countries, whether they have Muslim populations or not,” Ng said. “I think the problem is that you’ve radicalized another generation of would-be terrorists in Gaza and elsewhere.”

Ng highlighted that Singapore’s population is 15% Muslim, and the country recently arrested two individuals, including a 14-year-old boy, who had been radicalized and were planning to commit an act of terrorism. He described the reaction to the conflict in his country as “anger.”
