Germany Charges 7 Suspected Hamas Members Over Attack Plot

In Berlin in September 2026, German authorities charged seven suspected Hamas members over a planned attack. Separately, police opened an investigation into AfD politician Brandner after a campaign appearance in Hessen, and a threatening graffiti message against an SPD district administrator is being handled by the state security service. A death threat was also made against Charlotte Knobloch, a Jewish community leader, after an AfD election victory, leading her to cancel her participation in an event.
