As residents of the Netiv HaAvot neighborhood of Yishuv Elazar protest in the heat, hoping to meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Mr. Netanyahu was participating in a cornerstone dedication in Betar Illit.

Netiv HaAvot is the neighborhood ordered dismantled by the High Court of Justice because a portion is on private Arab land, as was the case of Migron and Amona.

The residents view the prime minister as their last hope, fearing if action is not taken, their fate will be the same as that of residents of Migron and Amona.
