Germany Expands Ban on Hamas Symbols to Include Red Triangle

The German Interior Ministry has classified the red triangle and images of Hamas leaders as illegal symbols of the terrorist organization.

The red triangle, used by Hamas to mark potential targets, is now considered a banned symbol under German law.
Images of Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar and Khaled Meschaal, are also prohibited as part of the expanded ban.
The decision follows the use of these symbols in pro-Palestinian demonstrations and their appearance on Jewish institutions in Germany.
The ban aims to prevent the glorification of Hamas and its activities, with violations potentially leading to fines or imprisonment.
The classification of these symbols as illegal is based on their use as identifiers of the Hamas organization, similar to previous rulings on other terrorist groups.
