“From the river to the sea”: dispute over demo slogans. “The slogan may not be used,” a city spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
According to the city, the Federal Ministry of the Interior attributed the slogan to the Islamist Hamas when it issued the ban order in November. There are no concrete indications that Hamas is intended to be supported by Wednesday's event, the city said. The slogan was used at the time by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to express its desire for a single state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean.
