Abstract

Germany's ruling coalition is introducing updated legislation to crack down on foreigners who glorify acts of terrorism, particularly those targeting Israeli civilians. The amendment to Germany's deportation law, set to be approved by Chancellor Olaf Scholz's cabinet, would allow for the expulsion of individuals without a German passport who make even a single comment on social media praising terrorism. The move is a response to a surge in hate posts on social media following the Hamas attack on Israel and a fatal knife attack by an Afghan asylum seeker. The stricter rules have been met with some reservations from the Green Party, but the Free Democrats are generally supportive. [Extracted from the article]
