Extensive Israel Road Closures Disrupt Tel Aviv Jerusalem Traffic for US Vice President Vance Visit

US Vice President JD Vance's visit to Israel is causing significant traffic disruptions and road closures across central Israel, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and major highways such as Route 1 and Route 6. Key streets in Tel Aviv, including Kaplan Street and the HaShalom Interchange, will be closed between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with partial or full closures affecting public transportation and train services. In Jerusalem, multiple streets and city entrances will be intermittently closed, with police urging the public to plan alternate routes and use public transit. The Israel Police have implemented a comprehensive security operation called "Blue Shield 7" to manage command, control, security, and traffic during the visit. Additionally, a complete flight ban, including drones, is in effect over Ben Gurion Airport, the South, and Jerusalem for the duration of Vance's stay. Authorities continue to provide updates and aim to minimize public disruption while ensuring security.
