<p>Israeli police blocked a road with cars and maintained a steady presence as protestors marched through Jerusalem. One witness said the situation was tense, with protestors and counter-protestors coming into close contact.</p>
<p>About 50 Israeli police watched over the protestors at their final meeting point in Sheikh Jarrah.</p>
<p>Speeches were made in Hebrew and Arabic, said Israeli journalist Joseph Dana on Twitter. Overall the protest was relatively quite, said Dana.</p>
<p>Earlier, Protestors waved Palestinian flags and beat drums as they waited to begin the march. Passersby honked at the crowd and shouted insults.</p>
<p>The highly publicized march is in support of a two-state solution that would see a Palestinian state on pre-1967 borders with Israel.</p>
<p>The Israeli government has rejected peace talks based on the 1967 borders saying the lines are &#8220;indefensible.&#8221; The Palestinian leadership has said it will seek state recognition from the UN in September if Israel does not agree to peace talks based on the 1967 borders.</p>
<p>More updates are on the way from Jerusalem.</p>
