Berlin Police Chief Issues Warning for Jews in City's Arab Neighborhoods

Members of the Jewish and LGBTQ communities are being advised to be careful in some Arab neighborhoods in Berlin the city's police chief said.

Chief Barbara Slowik told the Berliner Zeitung daily newspaper that the city does not have specific "no-go zones" for people, but some areas are unsafe for members of the Jewish and LGBTQ communities. There has been a rise of antisemitic incidents in the German capital since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. A group of schoolchildren recently was attacked in the city.
