Demonstrators demanding elections block two major highways, causing traffic jams.

The protesters block the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv during the rush hour. A second group prevents traffic flow on Route 4 near Even Yehuda.

The demonstrators call for a national strike to pressure the government into calling an election.

“Israel needs a responsible and sane government that will guarantee a better future for the State of Israel. We must stop the abandonment,” the protesters say.
