On New Year's Eve in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Ministry of the Interior and its head Herbert Reul are sending a total of 6600 police officers onto the streets of the federal state to "keep the peace". This deployment of forces is due to concerns in the Ministry of the Interior that, like last year on New Year's Eve, there could again come to major riots and attacks on police and other forces of the bourgeois state. Reul is also concerned that an "additional trigger" for possible clashes with the police could be the war of national resistance in Palestine against the Israeli state or the genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people in response to the resistance.
