Israeli border policemen stand guards at the entrance of the French cultural center at Salahedin street in east Arab Jerusalem on December 17, 2009. Israeli police surrounded the French cultural centre, apparently to detain the organiser of a Palestinian cultural event, a French diplomat said. Around 50 people, including officials from the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority (PA), took part at an event at the centre in honour of Jerusalem's selection as the 2009 "capital of Arab culture" by UNESCO and the Arab League. Israel bans all PA events in the Holy City, which it views as its "eternal, undivided" capital. Photo by Mohamar Awad
