An international celebration of homosexuality will take place as scheduled in Jerusalem next month, but organizers of the WorldPride event now say they've postponed a planned LGBT parade through the streets of Jerusalem.
A WorldPride organizer said Jerusalem police had informed his group that with Israel fighting a war on two fronts and the security situation very tense, police could not provide a safe environment for the march.
