![March in Palestinian area of Jerusalem stokes tension](https://cdn.magzter.com/1704825715/1717660442/articles/t3JO4cIl51717667658437/MARCH-IN-PALESTINIAN-AREA-OF-JERUSALEM-STOKES-TENSION.jpg)
The comments by Itamar BenGvir and the march in Jerusalem, the emotional heart of the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, threatened to stoke already high tensions that have gripped the region since the start of the war in Gaza. The annual march, seen by Palestinians as provocative, helped set off an 11-day war in Gaza three years ago.
Marchers convening outside the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem's historic Old City, a central gathering place for Palestinians in East Jerusalem, chanted "Death to Arabs" and other anti-Arab and anti-Islamic slogans. They danced and waved Israeli flags as the procession kicked off.
Ben-Gvir, who was once on the fringes of Israeli politics but now holds a key position in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, had insisted that the march follow its traditional route through the Palestinian area, despite tensions surging because of the war. Marchers entered the Muslim Quarter of the Old City through Damascus Gate and ended at the Western Wall, the holiest place where Jews can pray.
