Road closures will begin at noon, and Israel Police and Netvei Israel have called on the public to avoid driving to the entrance area to Jerusalem throughout the day.

Heavy traffic and significant disruptions are expected across Jerusalem and the roads leading to the city from 12:00 p.m. on Thursday due to ultra-Orthodox mass protests against the haredi draft law.

Israel Police and Netivei Israel have announced that Route 1 will be closed in both directions, from the Latrun area to Ginot Sakharov, including the entrance to Jerusalem via Route 16 and the Sha'ar Hagai area, depending on developments during the protests.

Givat Shaul-Ramot Interchange will be closed in all directions, Ben Zvi-Rabbi Shmuel Baruch Street will be closed towards the entrance to the city, Shazar Boulevard will be closed towards the Givat Shaul Interchange, Herzl Boulevard will be closed from the Bari intersection towards Gesher Mitamitarim, the Malki Yisrael-Shari Yisrael intersection will be closed towards Nordo Square and Yirmiyahu Street.

  1. Didn't protest when Israel was invaded.
    Didn't protest for the hostages.
    Didn't protest for the brave soldiers who fell in battle.
    Didn't protest for the 100 000's who had to live in hotels and shelters for months.
    But suddenly this is the most important protest ever and "all of Klal Yisrael" is part of it. So the rest of us aren't Klal Yisrael anymore. It's official. Does this mean I'm patur from Shabbos and kashrus now?

  2. I doubt more idiotic statements have been made. I doubt Hashem cares about your mitzvos.

      Nothing idiotic about his statement. What's the one about separating yourself from the tzibbur?
      I don't accuse anyone, but if some people have not shown any concern for the war, then why should they be listened to now?

    2. Ah, but the Chareidi reply is: We are the tzibur so how can you accuse us of separating from ourselves?
