This is the best summary I could come up with:
European Union member states are facing a “huge risk of terrorist attacks” over the holiday season due to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson said on Tuesday.
Speaking ahead of a meeting of EU interior ministers in Brussels, Johansson referred to a Saturday’s knife attack in Paris, where one German tourist was killed and two people were injured.
The attacker reportedly pledged allegiance to the so-called “Islamic State” (IS) and expressed anguish about Muslims dying, notably in the Palestinian territories.
“With the war between Israel and Hamas and the polarization it causes in our society, with the upcoming holiday season, there is a huge risk of terrorist attacks in the European Union,” Johansson said.
Meanwhile, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said Saturday’s attack in Paris highlights “just how acute and how serious the threat posed by Islamist terrorism is currently in the EU.”
During the meeting in Brussels, EU interior ministers are expected to discuss security in the bloc in light of the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.
