Berlin has been making headlines due to a series of events, including a suspected arson attack that disrupted power supplies, an assault on the former mayor in a library, and growing calls for universities to sever ties with Israel. Additionally, the recall of Berlin's envoy has extended diplomatic tension on the eve of Putin's inauguration, and there have been reports of clashes and arrests following demonstrations against Israel. Furthermore, there has been controversy surrounding the city's response to a Nazi sign displayed during a pro-Palestinian march, as well as the reconnection of Tesla's factory after an arson attack claimed by far-left activists.
