Damascus gate

The march will start from Hanevi'im street and go through Sultan Suliman street before arriving at Damascus Gate where mass dancing with Israeli flags will commence.

Meretz leader Nitzan Horowitz attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for trying to “burn down the country on his way out of Balfour.”

Damascus Gate has been a significant factor in the raised tensions between Israelis and Palestinians over the last two months and in particular during the month of Ramadan.

Originally, the march was scheduled to pass through the Damascus Gate near the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

Muslim volunteer medics at non-profit United Hatzalah recount harrowing close calls in Jerusalem, where they saved lives of both Jewish Israelis and Palestinians.

The barricades, like the protests in nearby Sheikh Jarrah, seem to have been more an excuse, a kind of symbol that crowds could set their anger against, rather than the real problem.

Suddenly, as sirens became audible in the far distance, a cheer erupted from the crowd. The young men seemed to clap in unison with the sirens.

"The passage of the parade in sensitive areas, when all warnings relate to a possible flare-up... would be irresponsible."

Monday night saw clashes between Palestinian youth and Israel Police erupt at different locations all over Jerusalem, as tensions intensify.

Dozens of people were injured and arrested as far-right Jewish extremists marched into east Jerusalem, chanting "Death to Arabs."
