German Parliament Backs Bill That Criminalizes Denial of Israel's Right to Exist

The German parliament has passed a bill that would make it illegal to deny Israel's right to exist.

It comes amid heightened tensions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and broader discussions about antisemitism in Europe. The measure has sparked debate among politicians and civil society groups regarding freedom of speech and the balance between protecting minority rights and preventing incitement.
