Protests in Israel Against the Government

Israeli media reported that Israeli demonstrators blocked major roads this morning, Monday, in the cities of Jerusalem and Herzliya, demanding elections, with protests expected to extend to other areas. The demonstrations included the closure of Highway 1 leading to Highway 16 in Jerusalem. According to the Hebrew site "Walla," other demonstrators blocked Highway 2 in Herzliya and disrupted traffic at the Gazit intersection on Highway 65 to the south and at the Yafur intersection near the city of Akko. Activists and journalists shared scattered scenes of the ongoing protests for the second consecutive day on the platform "X." Protests are expected to continue throughout the day, followed by an evening demonstration in front of the Knesset, leading to a protest march toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home on Gaza Street in Jerusalem, according to Hebrew media.
