Several dozen protestors turned out on Monday afternoon 23 Tammuz to call on the government to find a solution before the deadline compelling the evacuation of the Netiv HaAvot neighborhood in Yishuv Elazar in Hush Etzion. If a solution is not found, seventeen homes were be destroyed along with a memorial to IDF Lt.-Colonel Emanuel Moreno HY”D and Lt. Asher Ezra HY”D.
It is not just the right-wing calling to save the area, as Yesh Atid party leader MK Yair Lapid has also spoken out strongly against destroying the memorial, questioning how the left-wing lacks a minimum of respect for the dead.

Its about time that they leave Netiv Avot alone! There are two strips of land that supposedly are arab land. These strips go through some of the houses on the Yishuv but they are only around 3 feet wide. It is a ridicules situation!
