Today at 1800gmt were going to be discussing daily life for Jerusalems Jews and Arabs. Israel has stepped up security in the city and concrete barriers have been placed at bus stops after yesterdays deliberate car attack. In recent weeks tensions have risen between the citys mixed population. There have been Palestinian car attacks and an Israeli security crackdown, while Israel has denied male Muslim worshippers under the age of 50 access to the holy Temple Mount/al-Haram al-Sharif compound. Jerusalems name resonates around for the world for Christians, Jews and Muslims alike and echoes through centuries of shared and disputed history. Well hear what life is like on a daily basis in Jerusalem for people from different backgrounds. Theres also a heated discussion in the Israeli media about whether the rising violence amounts to a new Palestinian Intifada - or uprising. Well hear that discussion too. Do you have a question about life in Jerusalem? Do you live there and would like to take part in the programme? Leave your comments below.
