 King George Street (Hebrew: רחוב המלך ג'ורג‎, Rehov HaMelekh George) is a street in central Jerusalem, Israel which joins Ben-Yehuda Street and Jaffa Road to form the "downtown triangle." [1] The street was named in honor of King George V on December 9, 1924.[2] King George Street was dedicated in honor of the seventh anniversary of the British conquest of Jerusalem under General Allenby. The inauguration took place in 1924, [3]in the presence of Sir Herbert Samuel, the High Commissioner for Palestine, Sir Ronald Storrs, the military governor of Jerusalem,[4] and Raghib al-Nashashibi, the Arab mayor of Jerusalem.[5]
Jerusalem's first traffic light was installed at the intersection of King George Street and Jaffa Road. In 1950-1966, the Knesset, Israel's parliament, met at Beit Froumine on King George Street. It was used by Israel's first five governments, until the Knesset moved to a permanent building in Givat Ram.[6]
King George Street is one of two Jerusalem streets with a pedestrian scramble; the other is Kikar HaShabbat.
