Left's election victory: Israel's ambassador: Jewish life in Berlin in danger

Israel's ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, has expressed concern over the implications of the Left party's victory in the Berlin state election for the city's Jewish community. He believes the party's rise to power poses an "immediate existential threat" due to what he describes as its unchecked antisemitism. The Left party, led by Elif Eralp, won the election with a large lead over the CDU and may for the first time provide the city's mayor. Prosor has called on the party to present a plan to tackle antisemitism within its ranks.
