Caption: On the annual "Jerusalem Day" national holiday, Israeli flags are
marched through the Old City's Damascus Gate (here in May 2016). [photo credit:
Oliver Fitoussi]. This parade celebrates the re-unification of Israeli-held West
Jerusalem with Jordanian-held East Jerusalem, when Israeli troops seized the
eastern quarter of the city during the June 1967 "Six Day War". {In opposition,
many Muslims celebrate with their annual "Quds Day" that is held on the last
Friday of Ramadan.} In this photo there are the obvious Israel national flags,
but the flag of interest is the blue flag with imagery of a white mosque (the
"Dome of the Rock" (Arabic: Qubbat aṣ-Ṣakhra, Hebrew Kippat ha-Sela) ?) and
slogans in Hebrew. Perhaps one of your Israeli contacts can provide a
translation of the Hebrew on the blue flag.

This photo shows a different "Jerusalem Day" flag in 2019. Apparently, two
different flags.

Caption: On the annual "Jerusalem Day" national holiday, Israeli flags
are marched through the Old City's Damascus Gate (here on June 1, 2019 –
because the Hebrew calendar differs from the Western Gregorian calendar, the
date of this holiday varies yearly). This parade celebrates the re-unification
of Israeli-held West Jerusalem with Jordanian-held East Jerusalem, when Israeli
troops seized the eastern Muslim quarter of the city during the June 1967 "Six
Day War". {In opposition, many Muslims celebrate with their annual "Quds Day"
that is held on the last Friday of Ramadan.}
In this photo there are the
obvious Israel national flags, but the flag of interest is the flag at far right
that appears to have slogans in Hebrew. {To my eyesight, there also appears to
be a different flag on the left side. Both of these unknown flags have a broad
blue stripe at the top and bottom, whereas the Israeli national flag has a
white-stripe above and below their blue stripes.} Perhaps one of your Israeli
contacts can provide a translation of the Hebrew on the blue flag, or offer a
better image/info.

Caption: A
white-field flag with light-yellow/goldenish upper and lower stripes similar to
the two horizontal blue stripes on the current national flag of Israel. In the
middle there is a black-colored slogan in English that appears to read "3rd
Temple" (and maybe a similar slogan in Hebrew) – a possible reference to
conservative Jewish groups that want to re-claim full control of the "Temple
Mount/Haram as-Sharif", which is currently administered by a Muslim "waqf"
organization. Israelis take part in the annual "Jerusalem Day" Flag March in
front of the Damascus Gate, May 29, 2022 (photo credit: MARC ISRAEL SELLEM).

National-patriotic flag, probably of the settler movement. The flag shows on yellow background
a map of Israel over two crossed automatic rifles and the Star of David, sourrounded by a circle,
all in black. Writings in the upper corners and on the circle.
The writings are only partially
discernable. The text on the underside of the circle is תגנה וחבוש
(to defend and to bandage), the upper left starts with גאולה (redemption).
Seen in Jerusalem on June 5, 2024, during the sometimes tumultuous, pro-Israel "Flag Day"
march on the annual Jerusalem Day celebration (Because of the differences between the Jewish
lunisolar and Gregorian solar calendars, the specific dates when the holidays/ceremonies are
celebrated fluctuate from year to year).
