Haredi protesters set road blocks at Jerusalem entrance roads, disrupting traffic into city

Haredi protesters blocked entrance roads to Jerusalem on Saturday evening for nearly two hours, disrupting traffic before police dispersed the demonstration. According to police, "the protesters have left the area, and traffic has returned to normal." Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Adir Schwartz condemned the actions, stating, "No one can decide to close the city by blocking roads and threats." He emphasized that Jerusalem belongs to all residents and that attempts to close the city on Shabbat through intimidation would fail, asserting that "Jerusalem will allow everyone to spend Shabbat as they see fit."
