Slovenian president raises Palestinian flag after PM removes it

“Slovenian president raises Palestinian flag after PM removes it Slovenian President Natasa Pirc Musar criticised the decision by newly appointed Prime Minister Janez Janša to remove the Palestinian flag from the main government building in Ljubljana, saying the situation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank remains unresolved. In a video posted on social media, Pirc Musar said: “The genocide against Palestinians has not been halted, and people in Gaza and the West Bank do not live in peace and dignity.” She announced that the Palestinian flag would be raised outside the presidential palace for the next week and then displayed inside the building for the remainder of her term. “It is a simple call to respect the fundamental principle: human dignity – for all,” she said.
