Rally was due to take place on Thursday and proceed through flashpoint spots in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem.
Right-wing pro-settler Israeli groups have scrapped a controversial march that was to take place this week in Jerusalem after police refused to authorise it, arguing that neither the format nor the timing of the event was suitable given the current levels of tension in Israel. The so-called March of the Flags was due to take place on Thursday and proceed through flashpoint spots in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem. “Police refused to give us authorisation,” a spokesperson for one of the groups organising the march said, prompting a cancellation of the event.More Related News
