On Tuesday, Germany commenced the trial of four suspected Hamas affiliates charged with creating arms depots across Europe for planned attacks on Israeli and Jewish interests. The suspects allegedly scouted various locations and established stockpiles in Bulgaria and Denmark. This trial is of major significance as it represents the first instance of individuals facing charges for participation in Hamas in Germany. The prosecutors also revealed that these suspects held senior roles within the organization. Their activities were reportedly aligned with Hamas' aggressive actions following the October 2023 assault on Israel.
The four defendants are accused of establishing weapons stockpiles in Bulgaria and Denmark, allegedly preparing for attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets across Europe.
This trial marks a historic point as, for the first time in Germany, individuals are charged with participating as members of the foreign terrorist organization Hamas.
