In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Mörs declared Monday that the nation
3
00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:20.329
faces a historic test concerning the significant rise in antisemitism.
4
00:00:20.809 --> 00:00:23.809
Speaking at a Munich synagogue on the anniversary of Kristallnacht,
5
00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:28.089
Mörs decried the horrifying sight of Jewish kindergartens and synagogues
6
00:00:28.469 --> 00:00:33.520
requiring security measures. He described antisemitism as omnipresent, and called
7
00:00:33.539 --> 00:00:36.320
the current moment a moment of truth for the commitment
8
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.460
of never again. Chancellor Mears reiterated Germany's dedication to protecting
9
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.670
Jewish life and its historical responsibility to support Israel. The
10
00:00:45.829 --> 00:00:49.609
RIAS monitoring group reports that anti-Semitic incidents have occurred on
11
00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:52.929
a dramatic scale since the start of the Israel-Hamas war
12
00:00:52.969 --> 00:00:59.539
in 2023. Last year, over 8,700 incidents were reported, more
13
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.289
than triple the number recorded in 2022. Turning to security
14
00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:06.579
developments in the West Bank, the IDF reports it has
15
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.640
intensified efforts against Islamic Jihad and Hamas cells. This comes
16
00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:14.079
after the arrest of 10 suspects in the northern West
17
00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:16.760
Bank who are alleged by the IDF to have been
18
00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:20.409
building a network intended to attack Israelis and establish new
19
00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:24.469
terror infrastructure. These arrests are part of broader security forces
20
00:01:24.569 --> 00:01:28.689
operations across the northern West Bank. The ongoing efforts aim
21
00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:33.109
to counter-attempts by these organisations to establish new terror infrastructure
22
00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:36.930
in the region. For continuing coverage of antisemitism around the world,
