On Friday 01 October, the Palestinian community of the Old City of Jerusalem organized a historical event attended by thousands of people. The bazaar, which Sabeel encouraged the community to hold, was organized by the community in less than 48 hours and lasted three and a half hours, from 3:00 to 6:30 pm. While the increasing number of settlers in the Old City has been changing its identity, the municipality has been holding events at the Jaffa and New Gates with singers, games, and Israeli Jewish dancers. In addition, the Old City has been impacted particularly hard because a large percent of Palestinians living there rely on tourism. As a result, many people have felt they needed to look for jobs in the Israeli market. During the bazaar, the community felt that Jerusalem was resurrected.
