The Israeli army has blocked the wedding of a Palestinian and an Israeli arab, near the West Bank.

The symbolic 'marriage' at an army roadblock between Jerusalem and Ramallah was halted when the army prevented the bride from attending and deployed stun grenades to disperse about 50 Palestinians who had gathered to watch.

The ceremony was organised as part of a "Love in the time of apartheid" campaign.

In January 2012, the Israeli Supreme Court endorsed a law banning Palestinians married to Israeli Arabs from obtaining Israeli citizenship or living in Israel.
