BERLIN (Reuters) -German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Thursday Iran bore responsibility for helping Hamas grow to the point where it launched last weekend's attack on Israel, as he announced a crackdown on organisations that backed the Islamist movement. "While we have no firm proof that Iran operationally supported this cowardly attack, it is clear to us all that without Iranian support, Ham as would never have been able to launch this unprecedented attack," he said. The Islamic Republic has celebrated the Hamas assault but denied that Tehran was behind them.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that Iran is responsible for aiding Hamas in launching the recent attack on Israel. He announced measures to crack down on organizations supporting Hamas, including banning fundraising and activities that glorify the group. Scholz also announced a ban on Samidoun, an activist group that supports Palestinian prisoners.
