路撒冷老城的其中一个城门处有一个大型广场，节日期间每晚都有大量巴勒斯坦人聚集在这里。

And, Daniel, before we let you go, like, what's the overall context there these days?
丹尼尔，在结束连线之前我还有个问题，目前该地区的整体情况如何？
Is there some connection to political events, or does this seem to be, I don't know, like a local flare-up?
这是否与政治事件有某种联系，或者是否会演变为局部爆发？
There's a lot that has been going on.
这里发生了很多事情。
First of all, Jerusalem is not under lockdown anymore, so you have a lot of young Israelis and Palestinians in the streets.
首先，耶路撒冷不再处于封锁之下，所以有很多年轻人的以色列人和巴勒斯坦人走上街头。
And then with the anti-Arab extremist group that marched in Jerusalem,
另外，反阿拉伯极端组织开始在耶路撒冷进行游行，
this group had been dormant12 for a long time, but they seem to feel emboldened13.
这个组织虽然沉寂了很长一段时间，但他们似乎感到有恃无恐。
And some are pointing to last month's elections in Israel, when a far-right anti-Arab party won seats in parliament.
有人指出，这是因为一个极右翼反阿拉伯政党在上个月举行的以色列选举中赢得了议会席位。
And there has been a lot of worry about things spinning out of control here.
人们一直担心这里的形势会失控。
The U.S. has urged calm. Israel has said it wants to lower tensions.

And tonight, Israeli police took a step in that direction.
今晚，以色列警方朝着这个方向迈出了一步。
It removed the fencing around the plaza that Palestinians had protested in the first place.
警方拆除了巴勒斯坦人最初提出抗议的广场周围的围栏。
And Palestinians gathered and cheered victory chants as the fencing was removed.
当围栏被拆除时，巴勒斯坦人聚集在一起欢呼胜利的口号。
So we'll see if that helps calm down this city that's been on edge.
至于这是否有助于让这个一直处于紧张状态的城市平静下来，仍有待观察。
