Fear of Palestine activists: Eralp: Will ensure security - Debate after interview

Elif Eralp, the Left party's election winner in Berlin, fears for her family's safety if she publicly comments on a known Palestine activist, according to a Spiegel report. The activist, Ibrahim Ibrahim, is associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist organization. Eralp's concerns were revealed in internal notes to an interview with Spiegel, which were inadvertently sent to the magazine, and has sparked debate about her potential coalition with the SPD and Greens.

The SPD has warned that Eralp's perceived vulnerability could be a problem for a potential coalition.
