Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan has signed an order to stop an event that was supposed to take place today under the auspices and funding of the Palestinian Authority on Saladin (Salah Ad-Din) Street near Jerusalem's Old City.
It was was supposed to include sovereign PA symbols as part of the Arab takeover of eastern Jerusalem. "The Palestinian Authority has recently been trying more intensively to strengthen its presence in the eastern part of the city in sophisticated ways, including the transfer of significant amounts of funding in favor of its own activities. Intelligence and the Israel Police are constantly working to trace these attempts and stop them. I will continue to strengthen Israeli sovereignty and governance throughout Jerusalem and prevent any Palestinian attempt to establish a foothold in the eastern part of the city."
