Ben Gvir to join provocative ultranationalist 'flag march' in Jerusalem

The Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir said the annual provocative ultranationalist "flag march" will go through the Muslim quarter Jerusalem's Old City on Wednesday, according to the Israeli Army Radio.

The march will include a stop at the Damascus Gate and participants will also storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, he said.

"Tomorrow we will march at the Damascus Gate and Jews will go up to the Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa Mosque)," the far-right minister told Army Radio. "We need to hit them where it's most important to them."
