According to the present position of the Chief Rabbinate in Israel, when the
5th of Iyyar falls on a Monday, Yom Haatzmaut is pushed off until Tuesday.
See http://www.lookstein.org/resources/chief_rabbi.pdf .>>

the 5th of iyar is the same day as the seventh day of Pesach
or the same as erev pesach. Hence the 5th of iyar can fall out on

friday,shabbat,monday or wednesday.
In the first three cases yom hazikaron/tom haazmaut is pushed off.
Thus the chances of yom haazmaut falling on the 5th of iyar is about 25%
