🚨NEW: Palestinian flag flying at Belfast City Hall this morning as unionist legal challenge to be heard 🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 reports from Belfast. 🟢The Palestinian flag was raised above Belfast City Hall late last night, after a @sinnfeinireland motion passed by 32 votes to 28. As the Christmas Markets open, there is a small police presence in the streets nearby. Sinn Féin say the move shows solidarity with the people of Gaza, but the @duponline have described the process as “scandalous.” An @allianceparty amendment that proposed illuminating the City Hall in the colours of Palestine in January instead of raising the flag was earlier defeated by 49 votes to 11. There was a protest outside the rear of City Hall last night as councillors left the meeting. A legal challenge will now be heard at Belfast High Court this morning, as confirmed by the @TUVonline.
