Europe is preparing for a war with terrorists. The United Kingdom, Germany and France are expected to be stormed by the so-called “lone wolves”
European security officials see a growing risk of attacks by Islamists who have become radicalized since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, with the biggest threat likely coming from “lone wolves” who are difficult to track. Reuters, quoted by BLITZ, writes about this.
10 officials in intelligence and police agencies in five European countries, including the UK, Germany and France, told the agency they were stepping up surveillance of Islamist militants.
This will further strain resources already strained by perceived threats from Russia, China and Iran. In particular, London police chief Mark Rowley called it one of the biggest threats he had ever seen.
A British security official said the war in Gaza was likely to be the biggest “recruitment” for Islamist militants since the 2003 Iraq war and that calls for attacks on Jewish and Western targets had increased in Europe.
In turn, a German source, citing intelligence services, said the threat to civilians was the highest in recent German history, with the danger coming from Islamist militants, far-right groups and Russia.
The media recalls that last month three people were killed as a result of attacks by Islamist militants in France and Belgium.
These two countries, as well as Austria, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, have raised their terrorism threat levels. Italy has restored control of its border with Slovenia, citing the risk of extremists entering the country.
“There will be a blowback that will be felt for years,” the British official said.
US President Joe Biden, for his part, hailed Friday as progress the release of more than 20 women and children held hostage by the Palestinian group Hamas, Politico reports.
At the same time, he stressed that the deal was just the beginning of a difficult road ahead as the US works to free the remaining hostages, including American citizens.
He is in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he celebrated Thanksgiving with his family yesterday. “From the moment Hamas kidnapped these people, I, along with my team, worked around the clock to secure their release,” he shared.
Biden said more details about the next round of hostages would be revealed in the coming hours, but it was not yet clear whether that list would include Americans.
“We don’t know when that’s going to happen, but we expect it to happen. And we don’t know what the list of all the hostages is or when they’re going to be released, but we do know the number of when they’re going to be released. So my hope and expectation is that it’s going to be soon , Biden said. I don’t believe Hamas is going to do anything right,” Biden said of the ongoing negotiations. “I believe they only react to pressure.”
More than two hundred trucks also arrived in Gaza on Friday carrying fuel, food, medicine and cooking gas, Biden said, with hundreds more expected to arrive in the coming days.
We recall that Biden said on Wednesday that Washington “under no circumstances” will allow the forced relocation of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
In a phone call with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Biden also stressed that the United States will not allow a permanent “siege” of the Palestinian enclave or a “redrawing” of Gaza’s borders, the White House said in a statement.
In addition, the US president stressed that Gaza cannot remain a “sanctuary” for Hamas, “where they can threaten Israel and the Palestinians alike” and “jeopardize any path to lasting peace.”
According to the agreement announced earlier this week, Hamas is expected to release a total of 50 hostages for 150 Palestinian prisoners, all women and children. The deal, which emerged from negotiations involving Israel, Hamas, Qatar, the US and several outside groups, can be seen as rare optimism amid weeks of death and devastation.
The number of Palestinians killed since the start of Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip has reached 14,854. This was announced by the authorities in the region.
“Casualties included 6,150 children and over 4,000 women, while more than 36,000 people were injured.” About 7,000 people remain missing, including more than 4,700 children, the government media office said.
Israeli attacks also left 88 mosques destroyed, 174 others partially damaged, while three churches were targeted.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas.
More than 1,200 people were killed in the attack on southern Israel last month. Over 200 people, including foreigners, were taken hostage and taken to the Gaza Strip.
Mathematician Prof. Nikolay Vitanov is also alarmed, who recently predicted that because of the war in Gaza, five million refugees will flood us.
“There is a massive migrant problem looming and instead of picking their noses, our ruling heroes should think hard. Along with the Palestinians, at least 5 million others who are waiting in Turkey and on the African coast will rush to Europe,” he wrote on Facebook.
“What do you think will happen if you have peddlers of national interests installed?” Well, they will sell you the national interests and it will be filled with migrants,” he warned.
