Far-right marchers attack Palestinians as #Israel marks taking of Jerusalem

Israeli opposition leaders condemned attacks on #Palestinians as "racist" and a disgrace to #Judaism.

from #BBC
May 26, 2025

"Thousands of nationalist Israelis descended to Damascus Gate, one of the main entrances. Right-wing activists held banners that read "67 - #Jerusalem in our hands; 2025 - #Gaza in our hands".

Arab traders in the Muslim Quarter who had yet to close their shops were harassed by young #Israeli men, witnesses said.

Chants of "May your village burn" and "Your home will be ours" were heard throughout the march. "

May 26, 2025 1:04 PM EDT

"CAIRO, May 26 (Reuters) - A #Palestinian official said on Monday that #Hamas has agreed to a proposal by U.S. special envoy #SteveWitkoff for a #Gaza ceasefire, only for an Israeli official to deny that the proposal was Washington's and add that no #Israeli government could accept it.

Witkoff also rejected the notion that Hamas had accepted his offer for a hostage deal and a ceasefire in Gaza, telling Reuters that what he had seen was "completely unacceptable" and the proposal being discussed was not the same as his."
