Un demi siècle de conflit à Jérusalem expliqué en 5 minutes

LM        28 avril 2015

Depuis l'été 2014,

les épisodes sanglants

se sont multipliés à Jérusalem et les symboles religieux,

particulièrement l'esplanade des mosquées, cristallisent les tensions.

Pourtant, au-delà d'un conflit entre religions,

la lutte pour Jérusalem est avant tout une bataille pour un territoire,

dont le découpage est devenu extrêmement complexe au fil des années.

Décryptage.

East Jerusalem    2021        USA

The looming removal of six Palestinian families

from their homes in East Jerusalem

set off a round of protests that helped ignite

the latest war between Israel and Gaza.

But to the roughly three million Palestinians

living in the West Bank and East Jerusalem,

which Israel captured in the 1967 war

and has controlled

through decades of failed peace talks,

the story was exceptional only

because it attracted an international spotlight.

For the most part,

they endure the frights and indignities

of the Israeli occupation in obscurity.

Even in supposedly quiet periods,

when the world is not paying attention,

Palestinians from all walks of life routinely experience

exasperating impossibilities and petty humiliations,

bureaucratic controls that force agonizing choices,

and the fragility and cruelty of life under military rule,

now in its second half-century.

East Jerusalem    2015

Israel captured East Jerusalem

in the Six-Day War

against Arab nations (...).

Israel annexed

heavily Palestinian East Jerusalem,

declaring it part of Israel.

The Israeli move

has never been recognized

by the rest of the world,

and the Palestinians are seeking

that part of the city

for the capital of a future state.

Holy City / Jerusalem    2013

the historic Old City:

a small walled enclave

of less than one square kilometre

within the sprawling city

that is Jerusalem,

divided into loose quarters

for Muslims, Jews,

Christians and Armenians.

It is the heart of the decades-old

Israeli-Palestinian conflict,

the centre for the world's

three great monotheistic religions,

and a magnet for pilgrims and tourists

from all over the world.

In this crucible of faith,

priests, rabbis and imams

brush past bare-limbed backpackers

as they make their way

over the treacherously smooth flagstones

of its narrow alleyways.

Gaggles of pilgrims from Eastern Europe,

West Africa and Latin America

jostle with ultra-orthodox Jews

and devout Muslims on their way to pray

at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,

the Western Wall or the Al-Aqsa mosque.

Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque    2014-2017

The closure

of Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque

sparks protests

outside the holy site on Thursday.

The Palestinian president,

Mahmoud Abbas,

called the closure a 'declaration of war',

while Israeli prime minister

Binyamin Netenyahu,

condemned Abbas's comments

as incitement.

The mosque

has been closed to all visitors

following an attempted murder

of a far-right rabbi, Yehuda Glick

Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque    2002

Ariel Sharon

risks provoking another Palestinian backlash

over control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem

as he decides in the coming days what to do

about a large and unstable bulge in a wall

of one of Islam's holiest sites.

Archaeologists

have warned the prime minister

that without urgent repairs

the mount's southern wall

and buildings attached to it

- including the al-Aqsa mosque -

could collapse on some of the hundreds

of thousands of Muslim worshippers

who are expected to visit during Ramadan,

which begins next month.

Since 1967,
