Germany’s interior minister has urged Muslim groups in the country to explicitly condemn the October 7 Hamas attack to voice solidarity with Israel, AFP reports.
“I expect the Muslim organisations to clearly position themselves and uphold their responsibilities in society,” interior minister Nancy Faeser said in an interview with German broadcaster ARD.
The groups need to “clearly condemn” the attack by Hamas, and not just with a “yes, but”, she said.
“It must be very clear, we stand by Israel’s side,” added Faeser.
Some Muslim groups have indeed “lived up to their responsibilities,” she said, adding however that “some have not”.
