Germany will tolerate no attacks against “people of Jewish faith” on its territory over the events unfolding in the Middle East, Berlin has said following attacks on synagogues amid the ongoing standoff between Tel Aviv and Gaza.
“We do not want to and will not tolerate the hatred of Jews – regardless by whom – in our country,” German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Bild on Thursday, commenting on a series of attacks targeting synagogues in several German cities.
“Nothing justifies the threat to Jews in Germany or attacks on synagogues in German cities,” the president said. Earlier this week, Germany saw a string of attacks on the Jewish prayer houses that sparked outrage among Jews, Christians and German officials.
