JERUSALEM: Hundreds were wounded in new clashes on Monday between Palestinians and Israeli security forces in Jerusalem as a planned march marking Israel's 1967 takeover of the holy city threatened to further inflame tensions.
Israeli police had, as of Sunday, approved the march, which was scheduled to start about 4pm local time . All six Arab nations that have diplomatic ties with Israel - Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan - have condemned the Jewish state. "Israeli authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right to freedom of peaceful assembly," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.
Much of the recent violence stems from a long-running legal effort by Jewish settler groups to evict several Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah.
Leave Palestine alone , or respect ramadan , dont do that during Ramadan
