This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chancellor Olaf Scholz had announced that the government planned to take action against the two groups in the days that followed the October 7 massacres in Israel that killed some 1,400 people.
“With Hamas, I have today completely banned the activities of a terrorist organization whose aim is to destroy the state of Israel,” Faeser said in a statement.
The German domestic intelligence agency BfV estimates that some 450 people in the country actively support Hamas, which carried out the massacres in Israel.
Meanwhile, Faeser said Samidoun’s German wing had shown itself to be part of an international network that spreads anti-Israel and antisemitic propaganda under the guise of solidarity for Palestinian prisoners.
“Holding spontaneous ‘jubilant celebrations’ here in Germany in response to Hamas’s terrible terrorist attacks against Israel demonstrates Samidoun’s antisemitic, inhuman worldview in a particularly sickening way,” Faeser said.
Germany’s police union (GdP) said the ban was helpful and had made the legal situation a lot clearer when it came to cracking down on pro-Hamas activities.
