As Jerusalem prepares to mark the 57th anniversary of its reunification, the Israeli Police have approved plans for the annual Flag March to pass through the Damascus Gate – through the Old City's Muslim Quarter – on its way to the Western Wall.

Over 3,000 police officers and border guards will secure the march and other events scheduled for Jerusalem Day. The march will commence at 4 p.m. from Safra Square, proceeding through the Old City's gates, including Damascus Gate, before culminating at the Western Wall plaza with a main ceremony at 7 p.m.

"While recent months have seen thwarted attempted attacks in the capital, there is currently no specific threat regarding the Flag March," a police spokesperson stated. Nonetheless, stringent security measures will be implemented, including aerial surveillance and undercover operations, to identify potential attackers.

Major road closures are expected from 2 p.m., disrupting traffic and public transportation in central Jerusalem. The light rail will operate partially between certain stations from 4:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.

Jerusalem Day commemorates the reunification of the city during the 1967 Six-Day War, an event of profound historical and religious significance for the Jewish people. Celebrations will include guided tours, lectures, and cultural performances highlighting Jerusalem's rich heritage.
