A few hundred people are marching through the center of Jerusalem in a display of cross-religious solidarity led by interfaith leaders.
Under the slogan of human rights and peace, organizers say the march is meant to counter Jerusalem Day’s nationalist Flag March, planned for Wednesday afternoon.
The group gathered in Zion Square and then set out for Jaffa Gate, where they will wrap up the march.
As they walk, participants sing songs about peace, such as the famous Israeli ballads “Salaam” and “Shir LaShalom.”
A small cadre of police flank the procession.
