Israelis, Palestinians to march in support of Palestinian state BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Thousands are expected to take part in a Jerusalem march on Friday calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state, Israeli daily Haaretz reported. The march is composed of both Israelis and Palestinians with organizers claiming that it is the first Jewish-Arab event of its kind since 1991. The march will begin in Jaffa Gate and end in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, the opposite route taken by right-wing activists during Jerusalem Day last month, Haaretz said. The march is to be coordinated with Israeli police and organizers said they are committed to avoiding any violence.
