JERUSALEM, 31, July 2017 (WAFA) - Activists in Jerusalem Monday called on Palestinians in Jerusalem to thwart a provocative Israeli settlers’ march to commemorate Tisha B’Av and the destruction of their temples.

Extreme settler organizations, namely the Temple organization called settlers to join a mass march around the old city of Jerusalem to commemorate what they believe is the anniversary of the destruction of the temples.

The march is expected to take off from Bab Al Jadid, the nearest to the western Jerusalem, down to the Western Wall.

As in past marches, settlers will be escorted by Israeli police to protect them while they repeat racist slogans against Arabs and Muslims.
