A protest tent was established on Monday, Rosh Chodesh Av outside the Prime Minister’s Office by officials in the Gush Etzion Regional Council and supporters of Netiv HaAvot, trying to prevent its destruction.

Since the High Court of Justice ruled the area must be torn down, officials believe there are no solutions and the residents of the community may find themselves homeless in a number of months.

On Monday, residents and supporters opened a protest tent, calling on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to find a solution to prevent the destruction of their community, the homes and the memorial to IDF officers that was erected.
