According to German mediae, the Berlin State Police investigates the “incident” for a politically motivated crime.

Police pressure forces venue change for Francesca Albanese Berlin event: URGENT CALL to defend free speech - DiEM25 (2025-02-18)

“In a deeply concerning escalation, the organisers of ‘Reclaiming the Discourse: Palestine, Justice, and Truth’ … are facing ruthless attacks on their fundamental rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and expression.
“The venue, Kühlhaus Berlin, faced immense pressure from German politicians and the Berlin police to cancel the event.“
“German authorities, already responsible for canceling two events featuring #FrancescaAlbanese, are now escalating their efforts to silence her voice even further. Now, Berlin authorities are ratcheting up their efforts to quash this crucial conversation, putting the organisers and panelists under extreme pressure and threatening disruption through overwhelming riot police presence ...”

Open letter to the Mayor and Senator for Science of the State Berlin, on the political pressure put upon the Free University of Berlin to cancel Francesca Albanese and Eyal Weizman, signed by Michael Barenboim, Christine Binzel and Hanna Kienzler.
------
"... With your actions, you are contributing to the continuation of the delegitimization and defamation campaign against the UN Special Rapporteur. As early as December 2022, experts and scholars felt compelled to write a statement condemning the attacks on Ms. Albanese... At the end of last year, 50 (!) Jewish organizations signed another statement expressing their support for Ms Albanese. The delegitimization campaign you support is part of a broader campaign by the far-right Israeli government and its supporters against the UN as a whole."
Poll: 70% of Israelis support second phase of hostage-ceasefire deal | The Times of Israel (2025-02-08)

(The poll cited above)
“Seventy percent of the Israeli public is in favor of continuing to the second phase of the hostage release and ceasefire deal with Hamas, according to a television poll aired Friday [Channel 12 news], which found a nearly identical figure backs US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip.”
“The survey also asked Israelis if they are for or against Trump’s plan to move Palestinians out of Gaza, with 69% in favor and 18% opposed. The remaining respondents did not know.”
“Despite the plan’s popularity, half of respondents say they don’t believe it will ultimately come to fruition, compared to 36% who think it will.”
