During the last period, the pace of attacks by settlers and the Israeli occupation forces on Jerusalemites escalated, in conjunction with a systematic campaign of displacement of Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and Silwan town, adjacent to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The tense atmosphere continues in the city of Jerusalem after the occupation police agreed, yesterday, Friday, under the pressure of extremists, to organize the so-called “flags march” next Tuesday, starting from Bab al-Amud after changing its course.
