Foreign Minister Yair Lapid condemns far-right activists taking part in a nationalist march for Jerusalem Day.
“Lehava and La Familia aren’t Jerusalem Day. Lehava and Familia don’t deserve to carry the Israeli flag,” Lapid says in a statement, referring respectively to an anti-miscegenation group and a fan group of the Beitar Jerusalem soccer club.
“Lehava and La Familia are a disgrace that harm the joy of the people of Israel on Jerusalem Day,” Lapid adds.
