History

Named after Eliezer Kaplan, an important Israeli politician, the street connects the city center to the Ayalon Highway, and is one of the busiest streets in the city. Right next to it, lies the old Templer neighborhood of Sarona, which has undergone a major renovation programme, in addition to the street itself, which has been widened in recent years.

The Israeli Intelligence Community had offices on this street.[1]

Starting January 14, 2023, Kaplan Street became the site of weekly protests of Israel's proposed and enacted judicial overhaul.[2]
