The march is held annually by illegal Israel settlers and other right-wing and ultra-nationalist Israelis to mark ‘Jerusalem day’, on which the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem started in 1967 following Israel’s victory over neighboring Arab states in the six-day war

As per reports, thousands of right-wing Israelis marched from the plaza of the Damascus Gate till the Western Wall, raising the Israeli flag and chanting racist slogans like “Death to Arabs”, “May your village burn” and “A second Nakba is coming”
