Israel's Far-Right Minister Jeered at Jerusalem Gay Pride March

Thousands of people participated in Jerusalem's Gay Pride march despite security concerns and counter-protests. The event took place after the election of a hardline religious-nationalist government, including openly homophobic senior ministers.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Police Minister with a history of homophobic positions, was jeered by marchers. The event highlighted the deepening fault lines in Israeli society between secular Jews and the nationalist and ultra-Orthodox right-wing.
