Tensions are high in occupied East Jerusalem

We can bring you more updates from our correspondent Sara Khairat in occupied East Jerusalem where she says tensions are high today.

“To give you an idea about the atmosphere in occupied East Jerusalem as well as the occupied territories, shopkeepers are saying they are shutting their stores early.

“They are worried they’ll be arrested any moment even for crossing the road. One person told us he was detained for throwing rubbish. They were questioned and then threatened with arrest.

“You have the Israeli police turning up, preventing anyone from posting on social media in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. If you even raise the Palestinian flag, that’s illegal.”
