Israel

Israeli police officers stand guard near a barricade being burned in protest against an upcoming gay pride parade in Jerusalem. Hundreds of ultra-orthodox Jews have rioted nearly every night during the past week in hopes of prompting authorities to call off the parade, which had been approved months ago by the country's Supreme Court.

On Thursday, November 9, event organizers agreed to shelve the public march and hold a rally at a local stadium because of security concerns.
