Eyewitnesses noticed that when the President of the United States entered the territory of East Jerusalem, Israeli flags were removed from the cars, reports The Jerusalem Post.
Previously, the flag on the president’s limousine was present. The Israelis was regarded as a direct undermining of Israeli sovereignty over the eastern part of the capital.
Before this trip, Washington refused to allow Israeli officials to accompany Biden during his visit to the hospital.
“Biden’s visit to East Jerusalem without official Israeli escort is a destructive step towards Israel, even if he was perfect with smiles and handshakes,” commented the deputy of the religious and syniotic party Orit Structure.
