Tensions rise as Israeli nationalists march through Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Day celebrations were marked by nationalistic fervor and violence in the Old City. While tens of thousands of religious-Zionist Israelis celebrated the reunification of the city and the capture of Judaism's holiest sites, confrontations between Jewish and Arab youths and hostile ethno-nationalist sentiment were also on display. Palestinian merchants were required to shut down their shops early, and security personnel dealt harshly with Palestinians present in the area. Far-right and ultranationalist politicians attended the event, with some calling for Jewish control over the entire city. The day's events highlight the ever-present, simmering tensions within a highly divided Jerusalem.
