Police shut art show at leading East Jerusalem Palestinian theater, saying it backed terror

Police closed an art exhibition at the al-Hakawati Theater in East Jerusalem, claiming the event was intended to support the goals of a terrorist organization. The exhibition was part of the 'Jerusalem Ambassador' program, which organizers say aims to empower Palestinian youth and promote community engagement. The closure order was issued by the new Jerusalem District police commander as part of a broader operation to assert control in East Jerusalem. In a related move, authorities also shut down a film screening at another cultural center in the city.
