Israeli Nationalists Hold Parade Marking Capture of East Jerusalem Amid Tensions

Israeli nationalists held a parade in Jerusalem marking the capture of East Jerusalem in the 1967 war, a territory Israel later annexed, a move not recognized by the UN and most countries. Thousands of Israeli police, some in riot gear, secured the event, restricting Palestinian access near Damascus Gate and prompting closures of Palestinian shops. The march, ending at the Western Wall, passes through Palestinian areas and often raises tensions, with Palestinians viewing it as a campaign to strengthen Jewish presence in the city they seek as their future capital.
