The European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Sweden’s Ylva Johansonn, issued a warning: “With the war in Israel and Hamas and the polarization it is causing in our society, the risk of terrorist attack in the EU is enormous“.

To react to these shocking remarks, It’s not every day Sunday invited André Jacob, a former divisional commissioner of state security.

The situation in Gaza is a very important trigger“, confirms the expert.”If we talk about the threat today, the Threat Analysis Coordination Organization remains at level 3. This means that there are big risks, but that there is currently no threat identified, otherwise we would have gone to level 4“, he recalls again.

The threat is real, but it is not imminent, which is what distinguishes level 3 from level 4“, specifies Christophe Deborsu.

The feared attacks could be carried out mainly by two radical groups, according to European authorities. “Interpol has published a document which warns that the future threat will be Islamic jihadism and the ultra-right“, explains André Jacob. “By “ultra-right” I mean not the extreme right, but people who have left the political movement, who no longer have a political project, but who have plans for aggression. It is known to the authorities that a threat can come from one of these two parties“.
