A group of accommodation apartment and hotel owners is threatening to issue an eviction notice to the approximately 5,000 residents of the north. The Ministry of Tourism claims that due to false reports that resulted in an excess payment of millions of shekels, payment to various accommodation companies has been frozen.

Apartment owners deny the accusations and threaten to evict thousands of residents. "We still very much hope that the relevant officials in the government offices will come to their senses at the last minute, correct this injustice and find an agreed solution"
