Israeli tourists tore down a framed map of Palestine from a Palestinian-owned cafe in Iceland, according to CCTV footage reviewed by Al Jazeera English. The security camera video shows what appear to be Israeli visitors removing the map from the wall during what the footage suggests was a confrontational encounter at the establishment.
The incident underscores tensions over Palestinian territorial symbolism displayed in public spaces frequented by international visitors. The cafe's owners documented the destruction through their surveillance system. No immediate reports indicated whether authorities were notified or what consequences, if any, the tourists faced for the removal of the business's property.
