Video: With police approval, a demonstration in Neve Ativ, where the Netanyahu couple is on vacation/official site
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sarah arrived at a hotel in Neve Ativ on Sunday. According to activists protesting against the legal revolution, signs they had erected in anticipation of the couple's arrival were torn down. The signs that were torn down read, among other things, "To be free in our country." Netanyahu and his wife plan to vacation there for about six days during Chol Hamoed Sukkot, and protesters have begun preparing for a week of demonstrations there.
After learning of the couple's planned vacation, Neve Ativ published a letter demanding that the Prime Minister's Office cancel the vacation at the Panda Hotel. The last time Netanyahu was a guest at the session, it caused a significant disruption to the daily routine of the residents and residents of the area.

The community wrote in a letter opposing the current vacation that "next week there will be a meeting of all the security agencies concerned, and we will try again (after last time the security officials did not meet the agreements) to reach understandings and agreements with them in order to balance the needs of both sides, in the hope that lessons have been learned and after the High Court ruled last time."
The residents of the community also clarified that any scenario in which Netanyahu and his family come to vacation in the moshav will violate the way of life there. "Closing gates and restricting movement will cause enormous damage to freedom of movement and tourism. Opening the gates will cause hundreds of demonstrators to enter the community during the holiday and disrupt daily life," they said.
