The European Union's home affairs commissioner has warned that Europe faces a “huge risk of terrorist attacks" over the Christmas holiday period due to the fallout from the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Speaking on Tuesday, EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson told reporters: "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."
