Modiin man detained for kippah displaying Israeli-Palestinian flags

53-year-old Jewish author Alex Sinclair says Israeli police detained him in Modiin for wearing a kippah embroidered with Israeli and Palestinian flags; he says a policewoman cut out the Palestinian flag from the head covering during the arrest, and he was released about 20 minutes later. He has filed a complaint with internal police investigators and plans to wear a new kippah with both flags. The incident is notable because it’s rare for a Jewish person to be detained over such symbolism, though Palestinian flags are often restricted; Israeli law allows public display of Palestinian flags but permits removal if tied to terrorism or public disorder.

Protests Erupt Worldwide Following Deadly Hospital Bombing in Gaza

Hundreds of Lebanese protesters, some waving Palestinian flags, gathered outside the US embassy in Beirut to show support for the Jewish state in its conflict with Hamas. Police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators, and one protester scaled a barbed-wire fence to plant a Palestinian flag on the embassy's flagpole. Similar protests also took place at the French embassy. The demonstrations came after a deadly explosion at a Gaza City hospital, with Hezbollah calling for "a day of unprecedented anger" in Beirut. President Biden postponed his planned visit to Jordan in light of the Gaza City attack.

"Clashes and Protests in Tel Aviv: Anti-Government Demonstrations and Judicial Reform Pressure"

Anti-government protesters clashed with each other during a demonstration in Tel Aviv, with one group allegedly pepper-spraying the other. The altercation occurred during a rally against the government's plan to overhaul the judiciary, which critics argue will undermine democracy. The clash was sparked by the unfurling of a banner condemning settler terrorism and the raising of Palestinian flags. The Brothers in Arms group, a military reservist organization leading the protests, stated that its members were sprayed with pepper spray by a protester waving a Palestinian flag. The group later issued a conciliatory statement, emphasizing their shared goal of opposing the government's actions.
