A separate procession organized by far-right Jerusalem Municipality Councilmember Arieh King is expected to go through the Muslim Quarter’s Lions’ Gate into the Old City.

The gate closest to the Temple Mount, it is rarely used by Jews.

A spokesman for the Israel Police says “there are many different parades; the official parade is going through the map we put up” which only includes Damascus and Jaffa sates.
