A new Israeli bill, proposed by Likud MK Anat Berko on Wednesday, would prohibit the Palestinian flag from being raised at demonstrations, Israeli sources said.
The bill, which will be presented when the Knesset returns from its summer recess, came in response to a protest organized two weeks ago in Tel Aviv by the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab citizens of Israel during which Palestinian flags were waved and anti-Israel slogans were chanted.
According to Israel Hayom paper, “the legislation would subject violators to up to a year in prison. It would apply to the flag of the PLO and to flags of enemy states.”
Berko said she expected the government to support the bill and expedite its passage.
On August 11, tens of thousands of Arabs gathered in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square for the second large-scale protest in eight days against the recently passed racist Nation-State Law.
