Knesset Member Miri Regev (Likud) demanded that Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat remove a memorial erected in the village of Silwan for Samer Sarkhan, a Palestinian man shot to death by an Israeli security guard (Hebrew). According to Regev, the memorial is illegal and “commemorates the heritage of a Fatah operative who leads a terrorist organization.”
