Israeli far-right nationalists took part in a flag-waving march through occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday that risks reigniting tensions with Palestinians and poses an early challenge for Israel’s new government. • At least 17 Palestinians were arrested by Israeli forces, and dozens more were assaulted and forcibly removed from the Damascus Gate plaza leading to the Old City. • Metal barriers were set up by Israeli police on the roads leading to Damascus Gate, which was sealed off to prevent the entry of Palestinians. • The so-called March of the Flags celebrates the anniversary of Israel’s 1967 occupation of the city’s eastern part. • • Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker reports from occupied East Jerusalem, Palestine. • • Follow us on Twitter: / ajenglish • Find us on Facebook: / aljazeera • Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ • • #Jerusalem # MarchOfTheFlags #DayOfRage
