J’lem deputy mayor tours Old City ahead of flag march
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJerusalem Deputy Mayor Dov Kalmanovitz tours the Muslim Quarter of the Old City ahead of the flag march scheduled to take place this Sunday.
“It is important to me as chairman of the Jewish Home party in Jerusalem and as the deputy mayor to make sure the march takes place in its planned route while maintaining the dignity of all residents. It is important to tour the route in advance in order to examine from up close all possibilities for friction,” says Kalmanovitz.
On Sunday the High Court of Justice rejected an appeal by left-wing NGOs that sought to ban the marchers from traversing the Arab part of Jerusalem near the Muslim Quarter of the Old City.
