Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren has endorsed the FBI’s warning Hamas could inspire acts of terrorism in the West.

The Bureau’s Director Christopher Wray issued the warning during briefings at Capitol Hill on Tuesday, where he said the current threats to America and its allies rivals those posed by the ISIS caliphate.

“Anti-Semitic incidents are literally off the chart, the increases are in the hundreds of percentiles. During his congressional testimony, Mr Wray said the US was going through a “dangerous period” and warned the public to remain vigilant. The FBI said it was investigating a number of incidents in the US in relation to the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel which began on October 7. Photo: Getty Images

Mr Wray also revealed federal agents had arrested a Houston resident last week who had been researching how to build bombs and posted to social media about his support for killing Jews.
