An Israeli police officer confiscated a Hungarian flag from a protester during a demonstration in Israel last week on the grounds that it bore too much resemblance to a Palestinian flag, and that it could cause "provocation".

...

The protester said he could put the flag away in his vehicle, but the officer refused and confiscated it without providing a substantial reason for the decision, he explained to Haaretz. The demonstrator added that the police said he could retrieve it afterwards once the protest ended.
