In a pilgrimage born of necessity, a throng of demonstrators marched on Jerusalem to set up camp near the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and take part in a four-day protest along the steep approaches to the city . Hundreds of thousands of others across the country mobilised to protest against the government’s controversial vote on Monday.
