Far-right Israeli nationalists attack Palestinian journalists in East Jerusalem on Naksa Day

In occupied East Jerusalem, far-right Israelis attacked Palestinians and several journalists, including Saif Al-Qawasmi, during the Jerusalem Day flag march on Wednesday. The march marked the anniversary of Israel’s conquest of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. In Palestine, June 5 is known as Naksa, which means “setback.” During Wednesday’s march, Israelis were heard chanting “Death to Arabs” and “May your village burn.” Police reported 18 arrests.
