Police on Sunday gave the go-ahead to the annual Jerusalem Day parade despite days of unrest and soaring Israeli-Palestinian tensions at a flashpoint holy site.
Monday's parade will pass through Jerusalem's Old City, part of east Jerusalem, which was captured and annexed by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.
The march was approved amid ongoing clashes between police and Palestinians in the Old City, the emotional epicenter of the long-running conflict, and in a nearby Arab neighborhood where Jewish settlers are trying to evict dozens of Palestinians from their homes.
Before dawn Sunday, thousands of Muslim worshippers clashed with police at the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City.
