Arab child cries at seeing Israeli flags in Palestine

A Jordanian boy shocked his teacher during a school visit to the Southern Red Sea port of Aqaba when he burst into tears after seeing Israeli flags in a nearby port.

A YouTube video posted on social media showed the boy crying with tears in his eyes as he was hugged by the teacher and asked why he was crying.

The boy was in Aqaba with his classmates as part of a school programme of visits to key Jordanian cities when he started to cry as he looked at the Israeli Red Sea port of Eilat on the coast of occupied Palestine.

“Palestine… Oh my teacher… There are many Israeli flags in Palestine,” the boy said while sobbing.
