Advocating for the admittance of children from Gaza is proposed by Linkke. - Advocating for children's welfare from Gaza, supported by leftist groups
In recent search results, there is no direct evidence that cities in Brandenburg, specifically Potsdam, are currently spearheading initiatives to take in children from Gaza and Israel, backed by the Left Party. The focus of the search results primarily revolves around the case of a Yazidi family, who were deported from Brandenburg to Iraq.
This case has garnered significant political attention, with calls for the family's repatriation even from members of the Left Party. The Yazidi family's plight has brought humanitarian concerns to the forefront, particularly regarding asylum and deportation policies in Brandenburg. However, no information is provided about children from Gaza or Israel or specific municipal initiatives to accept them.
Potsdam is mentioned as the location where administrative court appeals for asylum have been rejected, but no broader child refugee intake programs or initiatives related to Gaza or Israel are discussed.
As of 2025, the latest available data, there is no indication that there are city-level initiatives specifically in Potsdam or Brandenburg aimed at accepting children from Gaza and Israel supported by the Left Party.
However, Sebastian Walter, the state chairman of the Left Party, has announced that there are municipalities in Brandenburg that are willing to take in particularly needy and traumatized children from the region. This statement comes amidst the Left Party's advocacy for the admission of children from Gaza and Israel.
In the past, cities such as Hannover, Düsseldorf, and Bonn have expressed intentions to take in needy children from Gaza and Israel. The Left Party plans to submit proposals to municipal parliaments in Brandenburg to facilitate the intake of children from Gaza and Israel.
In conclusion, based on the current search results, there are no publicly documented or reported initiatives by Potsdam or other Brandenburg cities to take in children from Gaza and Israel backed by the Left Party as of 2025. The political focus in Brandenburg appears to be on other refugee and asylum-related issues such as the Yazidi family case.
The Commission is also proposing to extend the scope of the programme to include politics, as the Left Party has advocated for the admission of children from Gaza and Israel. Furthermore, the programme could potentially encompass war-and-conflicts and general-news, since the proposed initiative comes amidst ongoing political unrest and conflicts in the Middle East, notably in Gaza and Israel.
