Protesters planned to block highways leading to Israel's main international airport ahead of Netanyahu's departure to Rome for a state visit. Police, overseen by ultranationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have pledged to prevent the disturbances. Israeli media reported the disruptions could force Netanyahu to change his travel plans to the airport.
