Elyakim Junction was a swirl of signs, horns, and loudspeakers. Bathed in the ambiance of blue-and-white Israeli flags, the overpass filled with Israeli holiday goers returning from Shavuot celebrations.

Almost every Saturday evening since January, Israelis have made their way to nearby town centers, intersections, and bridges to protest Prime Minister Benjamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu’s proposed judicial reform.
