The Diaspora Minister, Amichai Shikli, will not participate in the "Common Perspective" conference in Berlin, following his participation in the right-wing conference in Jerusalem this week, the promoters informed the local newspaper "Die Volt".
According to the claim, the organizers canceled Shikli's invitation due to his participation in the right-wing conference in Jerusalem, which, according to the media, "called for the replacement of the population in the Gaza Strip."
It was also written that Shikli had expressed homophobic views in the past and had met with extreme right-wing people in Sweden.
The organizers of the conference are the German newspaper "Die Walt" in cooperation with the Israeli newspaper "Jerusalem Post".
The uproar surrounding Shikli's visit began after the Berlin news site "Taz" revealed Shikli's invitation as a speaker and published an article in which Shikli was presented as an extreme right-wing man who "sees the rainbow flag as an anti-Israeli symbol, opposes Reform Judaism and considers any criticism of Israel, including that coming from within the country , as anti-Semitism".
It should be noted again that this is an Israeli-German conference with the participation of right-wing Israelis such as Knesset member Gideon Sa'ar and Knesset member Sharan Hashakal.
In addition, Israel's ambassador to Germany, Ron Proshaur, is expected to speak at the conference.
In addition, senior government officials in Germany and German intellectuals and cultural figures will participate in the conference.
