"For the first time in history," said a Facebook post from U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro, "the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv has raised the Pride flag together with our American flag."
A photo attached to the social media announcement shows the LGBT flag flying directly beneath the American flag, a bold statement in a primarily Jewish and Muslim part of the world.
"We are proud to join with the municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo and its residents in celebrating LGBT Pride Week," said the post.
