“We are destined to live together”
The Palestinian flag flies side by side next to the Israeli flag today in a new campaign from an organization called Mechazkim in response to a proposed law that will ban the display of Palestinian flags in schools.

The mayor of Ramat Gan, Carmel Shama Cohen, does not approve of this display but said it is a private advertisement on the side of a private building and there is nothing he can do about it as it is all fully legal. What he will do in response, he said, is add many more Israeli flags and banners in support of Israel and the IDF
UPDATE:
The PLO flag was taken down shortly after. I dont know how the mayor got it done but it seems he convinced the advertising agency responsible that it is incitement and traumatic for many, even though at first he said it is fully legal and nothing he could do
