'It's unreasonable to block the Ayalon Highway during the week'

Sources in Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office responded on Wednesday to Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz's decision to cancel construction work of a bridge on the Ayalon Highway that had been scheduled for Shabbat.

"It is unreasonable that traffic on the Ayalon Highway will be stopped in the middle of the week," the sources said.
