[Times of Israel] Demonstrators briefly block major junction in Israel’s financial hub amid push against price hikes, government corruption.Hundreds of Israelis took part in "yellow vest" demonstrations in Tel Aviv on Saturday to protest the cost of living in Israel and alleged government corruption.
The protests, which began earlier this month, were inspired by the nationwide demonstrations in France over the past month that were set off by a fuel tax increase.
In Israel, protests have centered on a recent wave of announced price hikes in electricity, water, gas and cellphone bills, as well as food products, insurance and property taxes.
