The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates (MOFAE) said that the so-called provocative “Flags March” in Jerusalem reflected the image of the Israeli occupation and its hateful racism in its worst forms. The Ministry added that Israel is turning Jerusalem into military barracks and committing the worst forms of repression and abuse, including arrests, deportations, and physical and verbal attacks against Jerusalemite Palestinian citizens. The ministry denounced the insults chanted by the settlers against the Prophet Muhammad, and considered them a blatant attack on the feelings of millions of Muslims. The Ministry called on UN officials and all countries, led by the United States of America, to be bold enough to hold Israel, as the occupying power, fully and directly responsible for its endless provocative attacks in Jerusalem, and its ongoing occupation and settlements on the land of Palestine, and for the consequences and repercussions of the apartheid regime that it perpetuates in the occupied Palestine.
