On the brisk frist work day of 2010 Yesha municipalities called a work strike, allowing all employees who wished to do so to participate in a demonstration and march to protest the ongoing building freeze in Yesha communities.

MKs Danny Danon and Zvulun Orlev were among those making their views visible, with Limor Livnat and others scheduled to join later in the day.

Carrying signs such as "The Freeze will go with the Breeze" and  "Jews are not popsicles; You will not freeze Karnei Shomron", hundreds of Yesha residents and supporters took to the streets, standing outside the government offices where the cabinet was holding its weekly Sunday meeting at 9:30 and then walking to the Yesha strike tent located across from the PM's official residence.

More actions are planned for the duration of Netanyahu's attempt to freeze out Yesha communities by freezing building projects.
