Tensions Rise as Nationalists March Through Jerusalem, Attacking Palestinians and Journalists.

Thousands of Israelis participated in the annual Jerusalem Flag March, which is known for featuring racist chants and violence by far-right Jewish participants towards Palestinians and their property. The event concluded without a major incident, despite several dozen instances of violence and harassment. The particularly charged aspect of the Flag March is its route through the Damascus Gate and Muslim Quarter, which are overwhelmingly used by Palestinians. The Biden administration urged Israel to reroute the march away from the Muslim Quarter, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted on the original path.
