Israeli Memorial Day Events Marred by Controversy and Protests.
TL;DR
Israel's Supreme Court has ruled against Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's ban on allowing Palestinians to enter Israel from the West Bank to participate in a joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day commemoration. The court granted the petition unanimously, citing previous rulings that allowed Palestinians to enter for the event, subject to security checks. The ceremony has a declared goal and a clear message of reconciliation and peace, said Supreme Court President Esther Hayut. The 18th joint ceremony is scheduled for the eve of Memorial Day at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park.
