Likud lawmaker seeks to ban Palestinian flag in Israel
In the wake of protests at which participants waved the Palestinian flag in Tel Aviv, a bill is being fast tracked to ban the banner at even small gatherings.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Knesset member Anat Berko of the Likud plans to submit a bill in October that criminalizes raising the Palestinian flag or the flag of any anti-Israel state during even tiny gatherings.
The bill outlaws raising the flags of states that are hostile to Israel, non-friendly states or commissions that do not allow the raising of the Israeli flag on their premises. Such individuals will face a one-year prison sentence.
