Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta was denied entry to Germany to participate in a pro-Palestinian conference, citing safety concerns. The event, titled the Palestine Congress, was intended to address German arms shipments to Israel and show solidarity towards the Palestinian cause.
Berlin police ended the Palestine Congress after a person banned from political activity in Germany was seen in a livestream. The abrupt closure led to organizers' claims of an unjustified ban on the event.
The incident occurred amidst international concern over the high Palestinian death toll in Gaza. German officials noted Israel's right to self-defense but also voiced concerns over the deteriorating humanitarian situation and called for increased aid access to Gaza.
