Explainer: What is behind Israel’s Ben-Gvir's ban on Palestinian flags in public spaces?
Considering the Palestinian flag as incitement to terror, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir seeks to prevent its waving wherever he can.
Newly appointed National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir instructed police on Sunday to remove Palestinian flags from public places, wherever such acts could be considered incitement to terror.
"Today I directed the Israeli police to enforce the prohibition of flying in public spaces any PLO flag that shows identification with a terrorist organization, and to stop any incitement against the State of Israel. We will fight terrorism and the encouragement of terrorism with all our might! " tweeted Ben-Gvir.
