Berlin police chief warns Jewish and LGBTQ+ individuals to be cautious in some neighborhoods due to rising hate crimes.

Berlin's Police Chief Barbara Slowik has advised Jewish and LGBTQ+ individuals to exercise caution in certain neighborhoods with large Arab populations due to rising antisemitism and hate crimes. Since the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, Berlin police have launched over 6,200 investigations into antisemitic incidents. Slowik urged vigilance and reporting of any suspicious activities, emphasizing that even one act of hate is unacceptable. This warning comes amid heightened tensions and a surge in antisemitic incidents in Berlin.
