  • The incident occurred at the Reichstag, the building housing the German parliament.

Three men in Berlin removed the German flag from the Reichstag building and replaced it with a Palestinian flag. The Palestinian flag remained in place for approximately one hour before being taken down. The suspects have been apprehended by authorities. Israel's Ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, issued a strong condemnation, stating, "Anyone who raises a Palestinian flag in Berlin while taking down a German flag unequivocally shows that they are against everything the black, red, and gold represent: freedom, democracy, and the rule of law." Prosor further commented that the Palestinian flag is increasingly being used not as a symbol of support for Palestinians, but as a symbol of hatred towards Israel. The incident occurred at a highly symbolic location, the seat of the German parliament, which represents German democracy.
