Palestinian lawmakers&#8217; protest tent at the Red Cross compound</span></p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; Jewish settlers celebrated Wednesday morning the occupation of Jerusalem near where the Palestinian officials have been seeking sanctuary at the Jerusalem Red Cross.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The officials, two members of the Palestinian Legislative Council and a former Palestinian Authority minister, have been sitting in for almost a year after Israeli authorities ordered them to leave their native holy city.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Jewish group set up a podium and speakers announcing the beginning of a noisy celebration of the occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967, said Palestinian journalist Rassem Abdul-Wahhed.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Ahmed Attoun, one of the PLC members stationed at the site, called choosing the location for the celebrations a ”provocative move that reflects an extremist mentality”. He added that such measures would not affect the men&#8217;s stand against Israel&#8217;s decision to banish them.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Several clashes broke out in Jerusalem&#8217;s Silwan district as Jews provocatively marched through the city and danced noisily across the settlement outposts erected in East Jerusalem.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israeli soldiers protecting the ceremony hurled a barrage of toxic gas and stun grenades at Palestinians during the clashes.</p>
