Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the flag march would take place as usual. Israel's Channel 13 reported that government ministers would take part in the march.
The march is organized according to the Hebrew calendar and is scheduled to take place next Thursday, May 18. Israeli right-wing groups announced that they were seeking to mobilize 5,000 Israelis to storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the same day. This comes after the ceasefire was reached, which ended the round of confrontation between the Israeli occupation and Palestinian resistance factions.
