Israeli right-wing organizers said they scrapped Thursdays planned march in Jerusalem due to a dispute with police over the parades route. Police did not authorize a bid by organizers to march through Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, prompting the organizers to cancel the march, a spokesperson for one of the groups said on Monday. Earlier, top Hamas official warned of renewed violence if the right-wing pro-settler organizations hold the march. "We warn the occupation (Israel) against letting the march approach east Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Thursday," senior Hamas figure Khalil al-Hayya said. "We hope the message is clear so that Thursday doesnt become (a new) May 10," he said, in reference to the start of last months 11-day war between Israel and Hamas, the group that rules the Gaza Strip.
