Miri Regev brings Jerusalem to Cannes red carpet

Miri Regev made a serious fashion statement in Cannes yesterday.

The Israeli Minister for Culture and Sport was on the red carpet for the opening film of the annual festival in the French Riviera town. And on her long, flowing skirt was a panorama of Jerusalem, with the Temple Mount front and centre.

Ms Regev confirmed that she had commissioned the piece from Aviad Herman, an Israeli designer.
