Foreign Minister Yair Lapid announced that he was cutting short his family visit in Madrid due to the Temple Mount situation, but many other politicians posted pictures on social media from their Passover vacations.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett posted one on Tuesday with his son David from their family hike in the Peres River basin in the Judean Desert.

Ahead of the Seder, he posted a Passover picture with his family including his dog, Lychee.

Bennett’s Yamina colleagues, Religious Services Minister Matan Kahana and Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, posted pictures of themselves kayaking in the Dead Sea and cheering on Hapoel Tel Aviv at Bloomfield Stadium.

“Kayaking in the Dead Sea is a unique experience, warmly recommended,” Kahana tweeted.

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who did not take a vacation, posted an old picture with his family and his late dog, Kaia. He also posted a video of himself cleaning his office for Passover and promising to clean out the Prime Minister’s Office after the holiday.
