Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to meet this evening with head of local and regional council in the West Bank, who have been protesting outside his official residence for the past few days.
According to Israel National News, a right-wing news outlet, the council heads decided to ask for the right not to pose for a photograph with the prime minister and to hold the meeting as a closed session.
Their demand was passed on to the advisers of Netanyahu but the latter clarified that without a joint photo the meeting will not be held.
Following the ultimatum, as Israel National News defines it, some of the council heads decided to be absent from the meeting, so as not to cooperate with the “prime minister’s PR machine,” as they called it.
The council heads are meeting OC Central Command Maj. Gen. Roni Numa before they are expected to meet Netanyahu.
