And his name was called in Israel: Today (Tuesday) at noon, a circumcision celebration was held at the Zvi'ahel Halls in Jerusalem for the son of Binyamin Naki, who became famous for 'stealing' the picture of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zt"l at the end of the press conference held by former Shas chairman Eli Yishai at the Ramada Hotel.
The newborn was given the name, of course, Ovadia Yosef.
Neki, a Jerusalem resident, was burned into consciousness when he climbed onto the stage of Eli Yishai's press conference and removed his picture of the late Rabbi Yosef, while confronting Yishai's fans.

Neki was also suspected of threatening to harm Eli Yishai. He was arrested the next day by police, after being recorded on video. He was later brought to the city's Magistrate's Court - where the judge granted the police's request and released him on conditions.
That same evening, Neki said in a conversation with Haredim10: "Obviously I didn't mean to harm him physically. I meant it only politically.".
The commotion broke out after dozens of angry Shas activists arrived at the end of the month of Kislev to the press conference held by MK Eli Yishai at the Ramada Hotel in Jerusalem, where he officially announced that he was leaving the Shas party and establishing a new party.
The protesters - including Neki - managed to enter the hall where the press conference was being held, shouted and threatened to harm Eli Yishai and his men, and also attacked journalists.
The angry activists shouted at Yishai: "He is a traitor! He betrayed the Maran! He betrayed the path! This is against the Torah!""

Deri's activists tried to storm the hall while Yishai was still speaking, until they managed to enter the hall. "We have blood in our eyes," they shouted, "There is no separation between the goal and the means. Yishai is zero zero. We will be harmed by him.".
Neki himself, as mentioned, climbed onto the podium and unveiled the picture of the late Rabbi Yosef.
A security force escorted MK Yishai out of a side exit, into the hotel kitchen, and after many minutes he exited the hotel through a side exit.
