Jerusalem: three religious holidays at the same time, thousands of police deployed. Holy Week coincides with the Jewish holiday of Purim and the month of Ramadan.
A huge police deployment was put in place to avoid friction as much as possible. Tomorrow, in the west part of the city, there will be the Purim costume parade for the first time in 42 years. The bells ring out, but the streets of the old town are almost deserted on this Palm Sunday, RFI's Michel Paul reports.
