Thousands of Israeli nationalists chant 'death to Arabs' during annual procession through Jerusalem

Tensions flared in Jerusalem during the annual Jerusalem Day march, celebrating Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem. Ultranationalist Jewish Israelis chanted anti-Arab slogans and engaged in provocative behavior, leading to clashes with Palestinians. Police presence was significant but some officers were seen celebrating with marchers. A separate incident involved Israeli protesters storming a UNRWA compound. The march, which has previously ignited conflict, once again highlighted the deeply sensitive nature of Jerusalem's status and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
