Berlin Film Festival Controversy: Anti-Semitism Probe and Ceasefire Message Spark Outrage

German officials will investigate how winners at the Berlin film festival were able to make "one-sided" comments condemning Israel's war in Gaza, with several accused of making anti-Semitic remarks on stage. The government plans to review the incident and hold talks with the festival's incoming director to prevent such incidents in the future, while also facing criticism over the ceremony. Germany, influenced by its history during World War II, has traditionally supported Israel, and the festival, known as the Berlinale, receives substantial government funding.
