In today's session of the German Federal Parliament, there was a display of discontent regarding Palestine. A person in the audience, who accused the German government of supporting Israel, was forcibly removed from the Parliament by security personnel. Cansın Köktürk, a Turkish-origin member of the Left Party, was also expelled from the chamber for wearing a t-shirt that said "Palestine."
The session of the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag), which started at 1:00 PM local time, was marked by protests.
PROTESTS IN THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT AGAINST ISRAEL
Before addressing the agenda items, the German ministers present at the session answered questions from the members of parliament. While German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul was answering a question regarding Israel-Gaza, the voice of a woman sitting in the audience was heard. As Wadephul paused his speech, the woman raised her voice and shouted slogans criticizing the government's policy towards Israel.
FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM THE AUDIENCE
Security personnel intervened with the woman who shouted "Free Palestine." The protesting woman was forcibly removed from the audience by the officials in a short time.
A TURKISH-ORIGIN MP WEARING A PALESTINE T-SHIRT WAS ALSO REMOVED FROM THE PARLIAMENT
Before the protest of the woman in the audience, the session chair, Parliament President Julia Klöckner, requested that Turkish-origin Left Party (Die Linke) MP Cansın Köktürk leave the hall for wearing a t-shirt that said "Palestine."
