Berlin's Social Democrats and Greens have suspended coalition negotiations with The Left, demanding the party adopt a pro-Israel stance as a condition for talks to resume, Middle East Eye reported. The suspension followed Die Linke's admission of a pro-Palestinian politician to its parliamentary group.
The two parties are tying their willingness to form a governing coalition to The Left's position on Israel, signaling a hardening of their stance on the issue ahead of potential government formation talks.
