Nationalist Flag March in Jerusalem Draws Tens of Thousands

Tens of thousands of nationalist Israelis marched through Jerusalem's Old City on Jerusalem Day in the annual Flag March, an event that often raises tensions. Participants chanted 'death to Arabs' and other slogans, and far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir flew an Israeli flag on the Temple Mount, a site holy to both Jews and Muslims.

The march took place under heavy security and was marked by high friction, with some journalists reporting they were trapped by mobs. Peace activists also rallied to protect Palestinians during the event. The BBC reported from the ground during the march through the Old City.
