Event Summary

Thousands of Israeli nationalists marched through the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem's Old City on Jerusalem Day, an annual event marking Israel's capture of East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. This parade, seen as a show of force by Jewish nationalists, is viewed by Palestinians as a provocation aimed at undermining their ties to the city, which they seek as the capital of a future Palestinian state. Israeli authorities deployed thousands of police officers and erected barricades, preventing Palestinians from entering certain areas and forcing shopkeepers to close. The march frequently inflames tensions, with some demonstrators chanting anti-Arab slogans. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's far-right national security minister, visited Al Haram Al Sharif and raised an Israeli flag, further escalating tensions. The United Nations and most countries do not recognize Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem.
