German authorities say they have banned a group that showed solidarity with “Palestinian resistance in all forms” and raided properties linked to it.
The interior ministry in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous, says it has banned the Palestine Solidarity Duisburg group. It accuses the group of spreading antisemitic narratives.
The ministry says police have searched four properties in the city of Duisburg linked to the group.
The region’s top security official, state Interior Minister Herbert Reul, says the move “sends the right signal” and adds in a statement that “in many cases nothing other than hatred for Jews is hidden behind solidarity with Palestine, as in the case of the organization banned today.”
In November, Germany’s federal government implemented a formal ban on activity by or in support of the Hamas terror group and dissolved Samidoun, a group that was behind a celebration in Berlin of Hamas’s October 7 onslaught in Israel.
