Far-Right Israeli Nationalists March Through Jerusalem, Sparking Palestinian Business Closures and Fears of Violence
- Thousands of Israelis participated in an annual march through Jerusalem's Old City to celebrate the capture of east Jerusalem, a move not recognized by most of the international community.
- The march is notorious for participants hurling racist insults and chanting anti-Palestinian slogans, and violence has broken out in previous years.
- Heavy police presence did not prevent some marchers from pelting journalists with rocks and bottles.
- Palestinian businesses shuttered in anticipation of harassment and vandalism from marchers.
- The provocative march raises tensions between Israelis and Palestinians and risks triggering violence.
