'Silence is not an option' in east Jerusalem for Palestinians

13 Sept 10:38 Key points summarised by AI

Palestinians in East Jerusalem are actively protesting, declaring "silence is not an option," against Israeli efforts to evict them and perceived attempts to displace them from the city.
The unrest is fueled by an Israeli court ruling favoring Jewish settlers in Sheikh Jarrah, along with police actions like the closure of Damascus Gate and clashes at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
Protesters view the Sheikh Jarrah evictions as a critical symbol of the broader struggle for Palestinian presence in East Jerusalem, vowing to resist displacement.
The escalating tensions underscore the deep-seated conflict over East Jerusalem's status, a flashpoint region claimed by Palestinians as their future capital.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
