Religious Tensions Flare at Jerusalem Day Parade

  • On Thursday, thousands of Israeli nationalists marched through Jerusalem's Old City for the annual "Dance of the Flags," commemorating Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem.
  • Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir preceded the march by displaying an Israeli flag atop the Temple Mount, defying longstanding norms against such displays at the site.
  • Ultranationalist demonstrators chanted "Death to Arabs" and "May your villages burn" as marchers passed, while many Palestinian shopkeepers shuttered their businesses to avoid harassment.
  • Police arrested 13 people following clashes, while left-wing activists from Standing Together deployed 200 volunteers in purple vests to provide a "protective presence" for Palestinian residents.
  • The event took place amid Israel's war with Iran and a "ceasefire" in Gaza, intensifying Palestinian concerns that the procession undermines their ties to the city.
