The Nature and Parks Authority (RTG) insists that separate bathing be allowed for men and women at the Authority's sites. The Authority's legal counsel, Adv. "The harm to the public that is not interested in it to a minimum does not constitute a violation of the principle of equality. Therefore, it does not require an explicit legal authorization for this separation in primary legislation."
The Women's Lobby stated that PA Director General Shaul Goldstein is elevated in the essence of his role: instead of worrying about the connection between man and nature, he works vigorously to separate human beings and humans in nature. Since the establishment of the state, both animals and humans have lived together without gender segregation in nature - and the lobby will continue to work with all its might to ensure that this continues. It is a public resource that belongs to the entire population and should include everyone and everyone at the same time. "
In September last year, RTG requested a pilot of a separate bath for men and women in the Einot Tzukim (Ein Peshcha) nature reserve. This pilot was frozen at the request of the Ministry of Justice, which requested that all the legal aspects involved in the course be examined.
"Separate bathing in a few hours is not discrimination prohibited by law."

The women's lobby filed an appeal to the Supreme Court against the district court's decision, which reversed the district's decision and ordered the abolition of gender segregation.
The Supreme Court judges handed down their decision in the midst of a performance that took place to the end in a separate sitting.
