US EditionIsrael Marks Second 'Jerusalem Day' Under Shadow of Gaza War
- Israel held its annual Jerusalem Day march on May 26, 2025, in Jerusalem's Old City, marking its 1967 capture of east Jerusalem amid ongoing tensions and war in Gaza.
- The event arises from Israel's claim of Jerusalem as its eternal, undivided capital, disputed by Palestinians who seek east Jerusalem as their future state's capital.
- The procession, dominated by young ultranationalist Jews chanting provocative slogans in Muslim neighborhoods, faced heavy police presence and included a storming of a UNRWA compound by about a dozen Israeli protesters.
- Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's far-right National Security Minister, announced that, for the first time in years, Jewish prayer is now permitted on the Temple Mount, signaling a shift in the longstanding delicate arrangement between Israeli and Muslim authorities.
- The incidents underscore growing tensions and the potential for intensified violence as Jerusalem remains a focal point in the ongoing conflict during nearly two years of hostilities in Gaza and contested claims over the city.
