Heads of authorities in the Gaza Envelope are increasing the pressure on the government to find a security solution that will allow residents to return to their homes.
Tonight they slept in the prime minister's office.
The demand of the heads of the authorities is to continue the evacuation plan until the summer for any resident who does not want to return to the settlement.
"We will stay until Netanyahu arrives."

The heads of the surrounding authorities spent the last night on the benches of the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem, in protest of the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister's disregard for them and their residents.
The heads of the authorities demand from Netanyahu and Galant a signature on the document of security understandings and an explicit and unequivocal statement that the return to residence and routine of life in Otef is safe and that the IDF will be allowed to end 20 years of security lawlessness.

So far, despite the government's pleas for the residents to return to their homes, Netanyahu and Galant refuse to state this publicly - and the heads of the authorities have now started a public fight against them on the issue.
During the night, the security personnel in the Prime Minister's office threatened to evict the heads of the authorities by force - but they finally backed off.
The heads of the surrounding authorities: "We are not going back to October 6 - not in the discourse, not in the working method and certainly not at the security level. We demand from the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense and the War Cabinet a formal and public commitment that the level of security allows a return to the settlements. After the desolation, the massacre and the bereavement, we will not be More cannon fodder."
