Germany: Bundesrat backs proposal to criminalize denial of Israel's right to exist
The German Bundesrat, the Federal Council of Germany, today, Friday, voted in favor of a bill that criminalizes denying Israel’s right to exist. The law stipulates that anyone who publicly advocates the destruction of the state or denies its right to existence could face up to five years in prison. The aim of the law is to strengthen the protection of Jewish life in Germany, although it has raised legal concerns related to freedom of opinion and expression. The bill will be discussed in the German Bundestag after the summer recess, amid controversy over how compatible it is with the constitution and freedom of speech.
