Minister of Heritage and Jerusalem Affairs MK Rafi Peretz (Jewish Home) has condemned the "provocation" that occurred in the Palestinian village of Sebastia, not far from Shechem, where a Palestinian flag was raised.
"This is a battle over our heritage," Peretz wrote on Twitter. "Sebastia was a Jewish town for 2,700 years, and this was nothing less than an attempt to erase our history here, by raising a terrorist flag. We won't allow such a thing to happen again."
