BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 01: A Bundespolizei police officer stands next to her K-9 unit dog named Cooper at Tegel airport on August 1, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The topic of today's German federal Cabinet meeting was the replacement of the entire leadership of the German federal police, the Bundespolizei. News emerged on July 28 that the incumbent Federal Police President, Matthias Seeger, was to be fired along with his two deputies, Wolfgang Lohmann and Michael Frehse.

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 9: Josef Schuster at the Commemorative event on the 85th anniversary for the night of the pogrom in 1938 in the synagogue Beth Zion on November 9, 2023 in Berlin, Germany. On November 9-10, 1938, Nazi-led mobs ransacked synagogues and other Jewish establishments across Germany. This year's anniversary is being commemorated with the fresh and horrific memory of the October 7 incursions by Hamas militants into Israel, in which 1,400 people were killed in the worst one-day loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust.

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 03: This screenshot shows the still active Facebook page of Samidoun Deutschland, the German chapter of the international Palestinian-rights activists group Samidoun, including the slogan: "Free Palestine From The River To The Sea", which negates Israel's right to exist, on November 03, 2023 in Berlin, Germany. The day before the German government announced it is banning Samidoun and all its activities due to the group's public celebration of the deadly October 7 incursions by Hamas fighters into Israel. The government is also banning any activities that might support Hamas, which enables law enforcement to clamp down on any related fundraising activities. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

Riot police officers bring a pro-Palestinian demonstrator into a police van at Herrmannplatz, Berlin on October 11, 2023, as pro-Palestinian gatherings took place in the German capital despite a police ban, five days after Palestinian militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, which has responded with a massive bombardment of Gaza. Israel is reeling from the deadliest attack in its 75-year history, as more than 1,500 militants stormed through the Gaza security barrier in their coordinated land, air and sea attack on the Jewish Sabbath. Israel has been relentlessly pounding Hamas targets in Gaza in response, and the war has already claimed the lives of more than 3,700 lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians, soldiers and combatants.
