Germany has intensified its measures against anti-Israel sentiments since the onset of Israel's war on Gaza on October 7. The German government has labelled any criticism of Israel as antisemitic and has introduced a new citizenship quiz aimed at identifying and excluding individuals with anti-Israel views. This move is part of broader citizenship reforms that include a requirement for new German citizens to declare Israel's right to exist.
