The Israeli occupation army deployed two thousand soldiers to secure the gay march in the occupied city of Jerusalem, scheduled for this afternoon.

The settlement march is being protected by the occupation forces, and aims to occupy the city, its old town and its surroundings with the aim of changing its demographic and cultural character.

Last Monday, three Knesset members, in cooperation with the extremist organization “Pedenu,” launched a group to exert pressure to achieve “Jewish freedom” in Al-Aqsa Mosque and strengthen the occupation’s sovereignty over it.
