JERUSALEM: Israelis basked in national pride and prepared for a Jerusalem march expected to draw tens of thousands Sunday, a day ahead of the controversial US embassy move to the disputed city. Palestinian protests are also planned for Tuesday. It later annexed east Jerusalem in a move never recognised by the international community. The annual march to the Western Wall includes many hardline religious nationalists who oppose a Palestinian state, often resulting in clashes as they pass through mainly Palestinian east Jerusalem. Israel considers the entire city its capital, while the Palestinians see east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
