Briefly

Police shut down a pro-Palestinian conference in Berlin after concerns that a speaker, Salman Abu Sitta, would make antisemitic remarks, causing spontaneous protests.
Organizers named Salman Abu Sitta, known for supporting Hamas militants, as the speaker, leading police to take action by switching off power and dispersing participants.
German authorities had prior worries about the conference's content and expressed intolerance towards antisemitism and hatred against Jews, leading to the conference ban.
The conference, promoted by pro-Palestinian groups, was aiming to highlight Israel's actions in Gaza, but faced opposition and shutdown due to concerns of hate speech.
