Jerusalem Pride Parade Faces Threats and Controversy from Far-Right and Hamas.
TL;DR
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir vows to keep all those who plan to attend the Jerusalem pride march safe while allowing people to demonstrate against the march. Over a dozen Knesset members, mostly from the opposition, will participate in the march. Approximately 2,000 officers, including some undercover, will secure Thursday's march in Jerusalem. The rise in violence against the LGBT community and threats on the march's organizers is a concern for some Knesset members.
