Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Big shopping complex in Yokneam Illit, and thousands of supporters came to see him. Reporter Batya Giladi describes an atmosphere of a rock concert: children shouted 'Bibi King of Israel', adults tried to get close and take photos, and the line for security checks resembled a queue for a sought-after show. On the other side, a small group of protesters arrived with signs saying 'You are guilty' and faced hostile chants like 'Go to Palestine'. One vendor said the store lost about 4,000 shekels due to the visit, but added with a smile 'He deserves it'. The article notes that on the same day, a house party of the 'Yashar' party took place in Yokneam, with the participation of Yoram Cohen, number two on Gadi Eisenkot's list.
