First publication: Police Commissioner RNZ Kobi Shabtai will meet this Sunday with the leaders of the LGBT community ahead of the gay pride parades to be held next month in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The meeting was intended to hear their needs ahead of the event and their concerns, as well as if there are personal threats surrounding the issue.
The police are preparing for the marches that will take place in the big cities, against the background of the protests against the legal reform and the rift in the nation. MK Avi Maoz called the march an "abomination" and promised to cancel it.

The organizers of the parade, on the other hand, promised that this year they will be extraordinarily large parades from years past. Tel Aviv even promises a weekend of pride. Some of the festival's organizers have already said they have received threats not to hold it, but adamantly refused to comply.
