Police grill, release artist who parked flag in his keister

Artist Ariel Bronz, under investigation for suspicions he planted an Israeli flag in his posterior, has been questioned and released, police say.

A police statement does not detail if they will continue the probe into the incident, which it terms “extraordinary.”

Defacing or disrespecting a national symbol, such as a flag, is illegal. It’s not clear if the flag Bronz used during a performance at the Haaretz culture conference was an Israeli flag.
