Israeli envoy: Berlin’s Jews face 'danger' after far-left win

Following Die Linke's victory in Berlin's regional election, Israeli Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor warned of an "immediate threat to the existence" of the Jewish community in Berlin, citing the party's "completely uninhibited antisemitism." Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, urged the SPD and Green Party to exclude Die Linke from any coalition, stating the party has "repeatedly crossed the line into antisemitism." Schuster highlighted a recent Die Linke campaign event where a rapper chanted "Yallah, Yallah, Intifada" and "Death to the IDF." Kerstin Wolter, Berlin state chairwoman of Die Linke, rejected the accusations, asserting, "Israel's right to exist and the protection of Jewish life are clear positions of the Left Party."
