7 octobre. 3 ans que les attaques terroristes barbares du Hamas ont coûté la vie à plus de 1200 personnes, dont 51 de nos compatriotes. 3 ans que nous partageons la douleur de l’État d’Israël et des familles endeuillées. 3 ans plus tard, nous n'oublions ni les noms, ni les visages : ceux de Maya, d’Ohad, de Valentin, et de tant d’autres. Combattre l’antisémitisme et le terrorisme, partout et toujours, œuvrer pour la paix et la sécurité de tous : c’est l’engagement de la France.

BREAKING: Germany has arrested former BND chief August Hanning in a major suspected espionage and treason case involving highly classified intelligence on Iran’s nuclear programme and the Russian military. According to investigations by WDR, NDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating Hanning over suspected treasonous espionage, obtaining state secrets, attempted treason and intelligence-agent activity. Investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office reportedly arrested Hanning early this morning at his home in Nordwalde near Münster. A second former senior BND employee, identified as Manfred D. was also arrested in Bavaria. D. allegedly supplied Hanning with highly classified BND information for money until at least 2022. Around 2,000 classified documents are reportedly believed to have been passed from D. to Hanning. Many were briefings prepared for the “ND Lage” at the Federal Chancellery, where the heads of Germany’s security agencies exchange intelligence. The documents reportedly included extremely sensitive assessments of Iran’s nuclear programme and Russia’s armed forces, as well as intelligence originating from foreign partner services. Investigators reportedly suspect that Hanning used at least some of the information to prepare a security analysis for a foreign intelligence service. According to WDR, NDR and SZ, the service involved in that case was not Russia. In another case, Hanning is alleged to have used information from classified BND documents in communications with a foreign agent. The case reportedly came to light after Hamburg investigators searched Hanning’s home and offices in September 2025 during a separate investigation connected to the Christina Block kidnapping case. They allegedly discovered an electronic storage device containing highly classified BND material that Hanning should not have possessed. The documents reportedly included material dating as recently as June 2022, years after Hanning had left the BND. The Hamburg LKA subsequently handed the material over to federal authorities, and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office opened a classified investigation in May 2026. For Germany’s intelligence community, the allegations are extremely serious. The material allegedly included intelligence supplied by foreign partner services. Any unauthorized disclosure of such information could seriously damage trust between the BND and allied intelligence services. The investigation remains ongoing, and the allegations against Hanning have not been proven in court.

🚨🇩🇪 NEW: Germany’s former head of intelligence has been arrested on suspicion of treason and espionage [@Telegraph]

We are appalled by reports that MEP Rima Hassan knocked down the Israeli and European flags displayed at the European Parliament as part of an exhibition honouring the victims and hostages of the October 7 massacre. If confirmed, this goes far beyond political disagreement or provocation. These flags formed part of a memorial to the victims of the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and to those abducted by Hamas. To deliberately interfere with such a memorial, on the eve of the anniversary of the attacks, would show a profound contempt for their memory and for the suffering of their families. That such an incident is alleged to have taken place inside the European Parliament makes it all the more serious. We call on the Parliament to establish exactly what happened, make the relevant evidence public and, if the allegations are confirmed, take appropriate disciplinary action. The victims of October 7 and the hostages deserve dignity and respect. Their memory must never become a target for political provocation.

🇫🇷 Massive student protests are continuing across Paris. Some estimates suggest there are around 200,000 protesters.

Once again, the Iran-backed Houthis have targeted infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, including a refinery and airports. These attacks keep destabilising the region, igniting further violence and undermining global energy security. We stand in solidarity with Saudi Arabia and our Gulf partners. Regional security will be at the heart of our discussions with the Gulf Cooperation Council later this month.

To blame all Israelis—all Zionists, indeed—for atrocities against Palestinians and to seek to punish them as a group is unjust. The Green Party of England and Wales has its history upside down economist.com/leaders/2026/1…
