Thousands of people are expected to take part in Jerusalem’s Pride parade. The annual event is taking place this year under Israel’s most right-wing government ever, stacked with openly homophobic members.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is made up of ultranationalist and ultra-religious parties who openly oppose homosexuality, although the Israeli leader has promised to protect LGBTQ+ rights and a member of his party who is gay is the Knesset speaker.
“It will be the police’s duty to protect, guard and ensure that even if the minister disagrees with the parade, the safety of the marchers is above all else,” Ben-Gvir said. Israel is a rare bastion of tolerance for the LGBTQ+ community in the conservative Middle East, where homosexuality is widely considered taboo and is outlawed in some places. Members of the LGBTQ+ community serve openly in Israel’s military and parliament, and many popular artists and entertainers are openly gay.
The plan would weaken the judiciary and limit judicial oversight on laws and government decisions, what critics say poses a direct threat to civil rights and the rights of minorities and marginalized groups.

Jerusalem's redesigned Tower of David museum opens after 3-year renovationJerusalem’s iconic citadel has opened its revamped museum after a three-year, $50 million makeover that included a restoration of its signature minaret. The museum launched its overhaul in the midst of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, when foreign tourists could not enter Israel and visitor numbers plummeted. The tower, an ancient fortress on the western edge of the Old City, contains remnants of successive fortifications built one atop the other dating back over two millennia. Today, the former castle serves as a museum dedicated to the city’s 3,000-year history. It is a daunting task, and in a city of dueling narratives, the museum veers toward the Israeli perspective.
