Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem after 1967
Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich has proposed annulment of the Oslo II Areas A/B/C framework, arguing for a unified land regime and warning of further action to dismantle Palestinian governance structures. The comments come amid ongoing West Bank tensions and a Palestinian teen’s death in clashes with Israeli forces.
Tens of thousands of Israeli nationalist marchers have marched through Jerusalem's Old City for Jerusalem Day, chanting anti‑Palestinian slogans, vandalising property and prompting many Palestinian shopkeepers to shut. Far‑right ministers have entered the Al‑Aqsa/Temple Mount compound and unfurled an Israeli flag. Activists have deployed to protect locals and regional governments have condemned the incursions.
