This report focuses on the impact of the war in Gaza on East Jerusalem, particularly the Old City, exacerbating tensions and disrupting daily life. Heightened violence, often targeting young Palestinians, led to fear and voluntary curfews, with many avoiding commutes to West Jerusalem. Israeli authorities intensified crackdowns, arresting activists and youth for social media dissent, creating an atmosphere of fear and isolation. Schools and businesses closed, severely affecting education and economic stability. Movement restrictions tightened, with checkpoints blocking access to the city center and limiting entry to the Old City, especially for Palestinian youth. Al Haram Al Sharif, once a vibrant hub, now stands largely deserted except for police-escorted visits by extremist groups, fueling further tensions. The combined effects of violence, arrests, economic disruption, and movement restrictions have left East Jerusalem isolated and under immense strain, deepening divisions and laying the groundwork for ongoing instability.
