MK Yitzhak Goldknopf (United Torah Judaism) is leading a slow-roll protest convoy on Highway 1, with police deploying additional forces to manage traffic disruptions, according to Amit Segal (N12). The protest began earlier Wednesday; participants are opposing what they view as persecution of Torah study.
Just after 18:30 Jerusalem, the protest convoy on Highway 1 — already active since earlier in the afternoon — moved forward with MK Yitzhak Goldknopf at its head, according to Amit Segal (N12). Police forces were deployed to manage traffic disruptions. The convoy's route and duration remain unclear; no injuries or arrests have been reported as of this writing. The demonstration, which The Zioneer reported was underway at 16:58, continues, with drivers instructed to maintain a slow pace — roughly 50 km/h — as part of the protest.
