Security situation in Germany: Interior Minister warn of escalation!

The current escalation between Israel and Iran also throws a shadow on the security situation in Germany, which will be discussed intensively in the coming days during the Interior Ministers' Conference in Bremerhaven. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) described the situation in the Middle East as a "dramatic escalation". He emphasizes the urgency to ensure the protection of Jewish and Israeli institutions and prevent overreactions on the streets. The concern for security has grown through the increased assault and the increase in hatred and agitation, especially since Hamas's attack on Israel. This is reported by the FAZ .

In the international arena, Israel has already started a major attack on Iranian cities and nuclear facilities. The Iranian response was not long in coming: more than 100 drones were shot down towards Israel. SPD foreign politician Rolf Mützenich commented on Deutschlandfunk and pointed out the need to narrow down a possible surface burn in the Middle East. In his opinion, Israel has the right to self -defense, but this must be bound to an immediate danger. Mützenich suspects that the situation will soon be treated in the UN Security Council and urgently warned of the danger of the Iranian nuclear program, which he described as irresponsible.

The threat from nuclear weapons

Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees an atomic armed Iran as an existential danger and strives to neutralize the Iranian nuclear program. In the meantime, US President Donald Trump has not implemented his original plan to act with Netanyahu. Interestingly, Trump was informed in advance and tried to dissuade the Israeli head of government from a major attack. According to US Secretary of State Mario Rubio, it was an unilateral campaign of Israel. In order to support the urgency of their military action, the Israeli army refers to progress in the Iranian nuclear program, which have been reported by secret services. The documentation that Iran violates international obligations is motivated according to the international atomic energy authority and throws a sharper light on the current situation.

The strategic attacks were not spontaneous; They have been prepared by Israel for several years. In addition to air strikes, secret sabotage campaigns in Iran are also part of the plan, which includes both nuclear systems as well as military goals and Iranian leaders.

increase in anti -Semitism in Germany

The violence in the Middle East has a direct impact on the security of Jewish citizens in Germany. Since the beginning of the current conflict, the cases of hate crime with anti -Semitic background in Germany have doubled. The latest report by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution shows that in 2023 1,927 politically motivated crimes were registered with anti -Semitic context. This is also reflected in the high number of over 5,100 anti -Semitic hate crimes, which indicates that the danger potential for Jewish people and facilities has increased. President Thomas Haldenwang describes the situation as alarming. Anti -Semitism comments in various forms of extremism and has increasingly found access to broad society through social media.

In addition, the protection of the constitution warns of the possibility that people who feel connected to the Palestinian cause could increasingly alienate from the German state and society. Another escalation of the Middle East conflict could lead to violent actions or in front of Israeli facilities. The constitutional protection considers the situation as serious and plans further measures for observation and prevention.
