Labor Party chairwoman and Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli on Tuesday night complimented Public Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev following the flag parade in Jerusalem.

"Respect and appreciation to the Minister of Public Security, MK Omer Bar-Lev, who reminds us what responsible, professional and matter-of-fact management of a complex situation is. The flag parade could have been an event that got out of control and inflamed the area, but to my delight that was not the case. This is how it should be done. Demonstrating is allowed, violence is forbidden," she said.
