European Home Affairs Commission Ylva Johansson said the polarisation in society caused by the Israel-Hamas war was increasing the risk of violence.
A similar warning came from German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser who told reporters the EU had to keep a close eye on threats and propaganda, as there was a high “risk of further emotionalisation and radicalisation of violent Islamist perpetrators”.
Many European countries have seen a surge in hate crimes since Hamas gunmen attacked Israeli communities, leaving about 1,200 people dead and many others held hostage in Gaza.
Police said the 26-year-old French suspect, identified as Armand R, who comes from a non-religious Iranian family had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group.
Last week two boys were detained in different parts of the country on suspicion of planning a militant Islamist attack on a Christmas market in the city of Leverkusen.
The head of German domestic intelligence in the eastern state of Thuringia, Stephan Kramer, has warned of the “considerable potential for danger” posed by Hamas-sympathisers, not just to Christmas markets but to major sporting events such as the Paris Olympics and the Euro 2024 football championships next year.
