Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israel Police says officers arrested a Palestinian man on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount today because he held aloft a Palestinian flag while a Jewish group was visiting the flashpoint holy site.
“The police will not abide actions that can harm the public’s wellbeing at the Mount, and will maintain its unwavering enforcement without giving preferential treatment, in order to maintain order and the status quo,” spokeswoman Luba Samri says.
The Palestinian, whose protest was filmed by one of the visitors, is being interrogated by officers, according to Samri.
