Germany warns Goethe-Institut over exhibition with Palestinian artist

Germany's Federal Foreign Office issued a formal warning to the Goethe-Institut in Ramallah for hosting an exhibition by Palestinian artist Jumana Emil Abboud. The warning, delivered via letter, criticized the institute for displaying Abboud's work, which includes themes related to the Palestinian experience, suggesting it could be seen as endorsing a political position and might violate the institute's mandate of cultural diplomacy.
