Israeli Police Seize Hungarian Flag From Protester, Citing Similarity to Palestinian Flag

Israeli police confiscated a Hungarian flag from a protester at an anti-government demonstration in northern Israel last week, citing its red, white, and green colors could cause provocation due to similarity to the Palestinian flag. The flag was returned after the demonstration ended. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel has contacted police leadership urging enforcement of rules prohibiting interference in protests.
