"Sinan Selen, the head of the BfV, the country's domestic spy agency, said a recent peace deal for Gaza did not mean that there is a "reason to sound the all-clear when it comes to Hamas and its activities in Europe and Germany." Selen said Hamas had "infrastructure" in Germany, and his office estimated that about 32,500 people living in the country can be classified as foreign extremists. This is an increase of 6% over the previous year."
"Martin Jager, chief of the foreign intelligence service, the BND, said that the "icy peace" between Europe and Russia right now could at any moment become a "hot confrontation." To achieve its goal of broader political influence in Europe, "Russia will not shy away from direct military confrontation with NATO if necessary," Jager said, adding that sweeping propaganda efforts were already underway."
A recent Gaza peace deal does not justify sounding the all-clear regarding Hamas's activities in Europe and Germany. Hamas maintains infrastructure in Germany. About 32,500 people living in Germany can be classified as foreign extremists, representing a 6% increase over the previous year. The current icy peace between Europe and Russia could become a hot confrontation at any moment. Russia seeks broader political influence in Europe and will not shy away from direct military confrontation with NATO if necessary. Large-scale propaganda efforts are already underway, underscoring the need for continued vigilance.
