Thousands of Israelis join Jerusalem Pride parade FMTNews FMTWorld
Around 30,000 people marched in Jerusalem’s Pride parade, held this year under Israel’s most right-wing government ever.
“We’re expecting a beautiful protest that represents the diversity of the LGBTQ community in Jerusalem,” said Jonathan Valfer, executive committee chairman of parade organiser Jerusalem Open House.Opponents gathered nearby held banners against the event, including one that read: “G-d Judaism rejects this gay abomination!”“We want the police to do its job in the best way they can and make sure everyone comes back home safely. And we don’t want political provocation,” he told AFP.
“Even if the minister has a problem with the march, the most important thing is the safety of the marchers,” he said Wednesday. Jerusalem Open House estimated 30,000 people attended the Pride parade, which the organisers said was the highest figure for seven years. Ben-Gvir and Smotrich were handed key government roles in December, despite Netanyahu having a broadly progressive record on LGBTQ policy issues.
