Jerusalem Day, marking the 57th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, will be celebrated on Wednesday, May 28th. Despite heightened security concerns and threats from Hamas, the annual Flag March, a controversial event that often sparks tensions, is set to proceed as planned.
Hamas has called for a “day of rage” in response to the march, urging Palestinians to protest Israeli control over East Jerusalem, particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The group has warned of potential violence and urged Palestinians to confront Israeli forces.
Despite the threats, Israeli authorities have deployed significant security forces to maintain order and prevent clashes. The Flag March, which typically draws thousands of participants, will involve a procession through the Old City of Jerusalem, including the sensitive Damascus Gate.
As Jerusalem Day unfolds, the city will be on high alert, with security forces monitoring the situation closely.
