Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz (Meretz) has come out against the plans, now authorized, to allow the Flag Dance on Yom Yerushalayim to pass through Damascus Gate and into the Old City.
"There is no need to allow the march to enter the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem," he told Kan Bet.
"Jerusalem is a big city, and this is just a provocation during a tense period."
