CBN News spoke in northern Israel with one expert who is tracking this growing threat to Israel’s security. From Mt. Gerizim in Samaria, known to much of the world as the West Bank, one can see the expanse of land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the book of Genesis. Mt.

The new Israeli Minister of National Security banned the display of the colors of the Palestinian flag in public spaces. It is the latest Israeli attempt to erase Palestinian identity.
