Erdan bans PA-sponsored event from East Jerusalem

Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan bans an upcoming political event in East Jerusalem sponsored by the Palestinian Authority, his office says in a statement.

The ministry says he issued the order banning the event titled “Palestine Under the Culture of Incitement in Israel” based on information received from Jerusalem police.

According to the statement, a number of senior PA officials were slated to attend the event at the Legacy Hotel.

Erdan says the PA “has repeatedly tried to undermine Israel’s sovereignty of the city, and we continue to fight for it in all parts of the city.”
