Days of Palestine – Jerusalem
The fascist Israeli lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir continued to provoke the Palestinian residents of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem.
Local sources said that he returned today to the neighborhood along with a couple of his followers and immediately started the trouble.
They added that Ben Gvir, who heads the Israeli far-right Otzma Yehudit party in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, went to a makeshift office he had illegally set up last month in the front yard of the home of the Palestinian Salem family.
Ben Gvir attempted to assault residents and activists taking vigil in the area to protect the residents from the Israeli attacks, they confirmed.
Israeli occupation forces, who keep a constant presence in the area in light of the Israeli provocations, provided protection to Ben Gvir.
Ben Gvir has previously caused serious friction in the neighborhood as he and other Israeli settler fascists like him seek to expel Palestinians from their homes and replace them with Jewish settlers.
