Israelis and Palestinians each mark their day of remembrance today as tensions run high

Israelis celebrate Jerusalem Day on the same day as Nakba Day, the day Palestinians remember their displacement in 1948. Tensions between the two sides are running high, says Middle East expert Inge Vrancken, who is in Tel Aviv. 'Many people are really worried,' Vrancken says. 'More and more Palestinians are being driven out of East Jerusalem at a rapid pace.' The Palestinians themselves speak of a new Nakba, 'their Nakba.'
