After more than three weeks of a vigil at the Prime Minister’s Office in Yerushalayim, disabled protestors on Wednesday stepped up their defiance, moving to Tel Aviv, where they intermittently Derech Begin, resulting in traffic snarls.

The protest tents at the Prime Minister’s Office remain as the disabled population calls on the national government to increase monthly assistance payments, especially in light of the sharp increase in gas prices, explaining that are unable to support themselves and families at present.
