Arab Israelis headed to Jerusalem block highway after being stopped by cops
Several buses carrying Arab Israelis to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount are held up at a police checkpoint on a highway outside the city, which is bracing for further violence after seeing some of the worst clashes in years yesterday.
Video shows passengers getting off the buses and marching along Route 1, the main highway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, with some blocking traffic in both directions.
