Title: Bundestag Brouhaha: Palestinian T-shirt stirs up chaos, prompting ejection and criticisms
Had a fiery scene unfolded in the German Bundestag on June 4, 2025? You betcha! Left Party MP Cansin Köktürk found herself being evicted from the plenary hall after refusing to ditch her "Palestine"-emblazoned tee, a garb deemed as a blatant political statement, in breach of the Bundestag's regulations against politically-charged attire during sessions[1][2][4].
This certainly wasn't Köktürk's first rodeo when it came to making waves in the Bundestag. Even on her debut as an MP in March 2025, she caused quite a stir with a Palestinian keffiyeh around her neck, leading conservative CDU members to demand a prohibition on such symbols[2]. As for the visitor who was allegedly removed after the incident, search results remain mum on the matter.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Annalena Wadephul objected to the disturbances, while journalist Henrik M. Broder lent his analysis on the Middle East conflict during an interview[3]. In Broder's perspective, there seems to be no middle-of-the-road solution in the Palestine-Israel feud. He pounced on Hamas for their exterminationist agenda toward Israel and remarked the touted two-state solution as a mere fiction[3]. Interestingly, his observations were underpinned by Israel's withdrawal from Gaza back in 2005, which evidently did not bring about a lasting peace.

The eviction of Left Party MP Cansin Köktürk from the Bundestag plenary hall on June 4, 2025, over her "Palestine" T-shirt reflects the politically-charged atmosphere surrounding war-and-conflicts, particularly the Palestine-Israel conflict, which continues to polarize opinions in both the Bundestag and general-news realms. Journalist Henrik M. Broder's analysis on the Middle East conflict further accentuates the ongoing complexity of the issue, suggesting no easy solutions in sight, as expressed in his interview regarding Hamas's exterminationist agenda and the myth of a two-state solution.
