Open question: Berlin's left-wing party discusses about disputed MP
A member of the Berlin Left is under criticism for comments on Israel and the Middle East conflict. Now the faction leadership is making a new attempt to solve the problem.
The Left party in Berlin is discussing its handling of MP Vanessa Emde, who has sparked controversy with her criticism of Israel. Emde's comments, including a statement that only people, not states, have a right to exist, have raised concerns about antisemitism. The party's leadership will meet with Emde, who may face expulsion from the party, but a decision cannot be made until next week due to party rules.
The issue is significant as it may impact the party's participation in coalition talks to form a new government in Berlin.
