 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosel here. As you can see I'm currently just outside the Damascus gay complex here in Jerusalem on what may prove to be one of the most tense days in the old city so far during the Muslim holy months of Ramadan. What's happening today is that the far-right party in the Israeli government called Otomai Yehudit led by a guy called Itamar Ben Gvir has said that they're going to be marching, they're going to be doing a flag march, which is kind of a typical thing that happens every year viewed as somewhat provocative by the local Palestinian population towards the Damascus gate. Now the Israeli police did say they're not going to be giving, they explicitly did not give permission for this, not only that but in recent minutes, as in in the last hour, the Israeli Prime Minister has issued a barring order forbidding Ben Gvir, who's the ideologue, the lightning rod for the far-right nationalistic politicians in Israel from approaching this extremely tense site of the Damascus gate, which can look very very deceptively calm. A little bit as it does now we're approaching Iftar here on one of the intermediate days of Ramadan but despite that this place could literally blow up in a tinderbox. This is actually how the last war fought between Israel and Hamas and Gaza kicked off was the march and then they sent rocket to massive said that their fingers are on the trigger ready ready to pull at it so we're here right now so far the march is supposed to be starting from the Jerusalem municipality and there's a very strong presence of the Israeli police between here and there so I personally doubt the march is going to happen but we're here at Damascus gate Bab al-Amoud waiting for something to happen. Lots of media crews here, there's tons of satellite issues, broadcasters etc and tons and tons of Israeli police and Israeli border police. As everyone know in the international war that we have this whole year a month called Ramadan that it's meant to be celebration afternoon. Last year what happened it's the Israeli forces are create a lot of tension in the area what is created on the end tension all around the world and create a war in Gaza. Today the Israeli right wing is a member tried to bring his own followers to Damascus gate to create an provocation for the Palestinians. What is happening right now Israel is not allowing him to arrive and at the same time Palestinians are presenting on the Damascus gate for not allowing the Israel provocation to be here in Jerusalem. What happened unfortunately is that the police stopped the Israelis and didn't allow them to get close even to the Damascus gate. Imagine in England in London area will be forbidden just for Jews to enter to specific area. Imagine in Paris the capital area that will be restricted no entrance just for Jews because they are Jews. This is what happened today in our capital our holy capital. This decision was made by political politicians and the parade thousands of people arrived but they were not allowed to get here to the Damascus gate. I'm here now at the intersection of Jaffa street and Sultan very light boom. This is where the police are keeping. You can see the Israeli flag behind me. These are basically the right wing elements as far as they were allowed to go. The police have horseback cavalry units just behind me there. Damascus gates only about 500 meters in that direction. It's about 7 p.m. here I'm just outside the Damascus gate and the crowds have definitely thinned out so fortunately the major sort of violence that we were expecting here didn't really materialize or were some clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli police but nothing's too substantial. I did see some incredible videos on Twitter of supporters of Ben Gvir and Levi which is another far right Israeli group trying to break through the barriers but the Israeli security forces really did it seems a very very good job at preventing friction between the two groups. So 7 p.m. Damascus gate here at the seven end of another day Ramadan and fortunately not as much violence as was expected
