The European Commission on Friday condemned “those who are importing” the war in Gaza to Europe and will “step up” its protection of Jewish citizens, a Commission spokesperson told Euronews.
The Commission reacted to a recent letter sent by more than 100 European rabbis to President Ursula von der Leyen, warning her that since the Hamas-led 7 October attack against Israel, Europe was encountering “visceral antisemitic hate” and “increased security provisions” were “urgently” needed.
