Israeli police ban Gaza children photos from anti-war protest, then backtrack

Israeli police initially banned the use of images of Palestinian children and babies from Gaza during an upcoming anti-war protest, but reversed the decision following media reporting. 

The police had issued a list of restrictions to Standing Together, the group organising the protest set for Thursday. 

According to the police letter obtained by Haaretz, the list included bans on images of children from Gaza, signs referring to captives, and the use of terms such as “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing”.

Following the publication of the restrictions, the police appeared to backtrack.
