The march was previously scheduled to take place Thursday last week, but was canceled by the Israeli government at the urging of the Israeli police. Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said that the march should be canceled after Hamas, a terror group located in the Gaza strip, threatened violence if the march took place.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the right-wing Otzma Yehudit party, called for Israel\u2019s police chief to resign on Thursday over his handling of a canceled Jerusalem Day march. The Israeli lawmaker said that by postponing the march, Israel was allowing Hamas to have undue influence over Israeli policy.<\/p>\n<p>Shabtai accused Ben Gvir, a member of the Knesset, of threatening to harm \u201cpublic order\u201d after the lawmaker pledged to lead the Flag March through Jerusalem\u2019s Old City whether the government approved or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBen Gvir\u2019s intended march is almost certain to cause serious harm to public order, to the point of harming national security,\u201d Shabtai <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/far-right-mk-barred-from-visiting-temple-mount-amid-fears-of-violence\/\">said<\/a> last week. The Israeli government agreed to move the Flag March\u2019s date to June 15.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Gvir spoke out against the commissioner and government\u2019s decision to move the Flag March\u2019s date to Tuesday. The Flag March was originally set to take place on May 10, but it was canceled last minute as Hamas, an internationally recognized terror group, fired hundreds of rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip. The new date was set for a month later on June 10, but Shabtai and some Israeli lawmakers began to push to cancel the Flag March a second time over threats from Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Gvir slammed Shabtai and other lawmakers for canceling the march for a second time, accusing them of tacitly acceding to terrorists\u2019 demands and allowing Hamas to have undue influence on the way Israel is governed. Ben Gvir also said he planned to lead the Flag March through the Damascus Gate and along its original route through the Old City whether the commissioner approved or not.<\/p>\n<p>Shabtai said that the lawmaker\u2019s plans could spark violence, and he added that he would hold Ben Gvir responsible if activists followed him and violence broke out. Ben Gvir backed off his plans, saying he would not defy the police and instead went to the Damascus Gate and slammed Shabtai, calling for his removal from office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the end of democracy. The Commissioner has failed to deal with the rioters in Lod, the south and the Temple Mount, and now, in an unprecedented decision, he is violating the immunity of Knesset members,\u201d Ben Gvir said last week. Members of Israel\u2019s parliament are protected by \u201cimmunity laws\u201d that allow lawmakers to travel anywhere in Israel with few exceptions without being stopped by the police.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Gvir called on then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reverse his decision to postpone the Flag March and said that Shabtai should be fired as police commissioner. Netanyahu lost his prime ministership after 12 consecutive years in a Sunday vote in the Knesset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/israeli-lawmaker-defies-hamas-threats-promises-to-hold-jerusalem-day-flag-march\">Israeli Lawmaker Defies Hamas Threats, Promises To Hold Jerusalem Day Flag March<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
