(Reuters) – The German interior ministry said on Thursday it was conducting searches in four federal states in relation to formerly announced bans of activities of Hamas, already a designated terrorist organisation in the country, as well as pro-Palestinian group Samidoun.
“We continue our consistent action against radical Islamists,” German interior minister Nancy Faeser said in a statement.
“With the bans on HAMAS and Samidoun in Germany, we have sent a clear signal that we will not tolerate any glorification or support of the barbaric terror of HAMAS against Israel,” Faeser added.
