FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Congress that Hamas' recent attacks on Israel could inspire similar threats to those posed by ISIS in the past, although there is no indication that Hamas intends to carry out attacks in the US. Wray emphasized that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023, particularly due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. He urged Americans to remain vigilant but not panic, as law enforcement officials are closely monitoring the evolving threat landscape. The FBI director also highlighted the potential danger posed by Iran, Hezbollah, ISIS, and al Qaeda, and expressed concern for the safety of Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities in the US.

FBI Director Wray Raises Alarm on Terrorism Threats and Rising Antisemitism in the US

FBI Director Christopher Wray remained silent when asked if the United States is safer from foreign terror threats since President Biden took office. During a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, Wray eventually stated that the terror threats have elevated, but did not directly address whether the country has become safer under Biden's watch. Wray warned that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has raised the threat of a terror attack against Americans to a "whole other level." The White House could not provide a clear answer when asked if terrorists have already crossed over the southern border amid the ongoing crisis and increased security threats in the Middle East.
