Ultranationalist Israeli Jews marched through Jerusalem's Old City on Monday, chanting anti-Arab slogans during the annual Jerusalem Day march commemorating Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem. The march, often marked by violence, saw police maintaining a close watch as demonstrators celebrated. Separately, Israeli protesters, including a Member of Parliament, stormed a UNRWA compound. Tensions remain high following the Gaza conflict and differing claims to Jerusalem by Israelis and Palestinians. Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated Israel's claim to a united Jerusalem, while the far-right National Security Minister visited a holy site, prompting concerns.
