The latter had stopped pushing his occupied baby stroller before a swarm of police, protesters and settlers outside the Maale Zetim settlement in East Jerusalem.

The mayor of Jerusalem, the Speaker of Knesset and the Minister of Education was attending an inaguration ceremony for Maale Zetim’s neighbors at Maale David.
