(ANSAmed) – TEL AVIV, MAY 27 – Despite Palestinian threats and warnings, the ‘March of the Flags’ in Jerusalem will take place on Sunday “along the original route, as has been the case for decades”: he established today Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, at the end of a consultation with the Minister for Internal Security Omer Bar Lev and with the Chief of Police Koby Shabtai. To prevent riots – when thousands of Jewish nationalists parade through the alleys of the Islamic quarter of the Old City – three thousand agents will be deployed in Jerusalem. In the south of Israel, the Iron Dome air defense batteries have been strengthened to intercept possible rocket launches from Gaza.
Bennett noted that the March – with which Israel celebrates the reunification of the two sectors of Jerusalem following the 1967 war – will end at the Wailing Wall and will not touch the Temple Mount (which for Jews is the Temple Wall). In the Esplanade, Bennett specified, the normal routine will be observed on Sunday. Nonetheless, several Palestinian political forces have called on the people of East Jerusalem to mobilize “in defense of the al-Aqsa mosque”.
