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).
