The government is now convening (Sunday) for a meeting against the background of the surge in corona morbidity. Among other things, the ministers will also discuss the establishment of a resilience center in Netivot, unemployment benefits and religious services, after the kashrut reform was launched today.
Prime Minister Bennett said of the shooting from Gaza: “Tonight the Air Force attacked a series of targets in a Hamas rocket production complex in Khan Yunis. The IDF also attacked a number of Hamas positions on the Gaza border.
“This attack is in response to the rocket fire yesterday from the Gaza Strip to the shores of the Mediterranean. I want to clarify something here: All the lightning and thunder stories of Hamas, which repeat themselves winter after winter, are no longer relevant.
On the spread of the corona he said: “As for the omicron – we all already feel the increase in infection and we are likely to see a doubling, then a doubling of doubling in the coming days. Let it be clear – this is how it works. Tens of thousands of verified per day in the near future.Along with the expected load in hospitals, it should be remembered that even a situation of tens of thousands verified per day is very difficult to manage logistically.These are numbers that the world did not know, nor did we know.
“In conclusion, the storm is coming to us these days really. It will be difficult, but with the right and responsible behavior, together, we will overcome it,” he said.
Tourism Minister Yoel Rezbozov demanded at the cabinet meeting: “It is time to end with the isolation of vaccinated Israelis returning from abroad. It no longer has medical value. “I expect that just as we will release the Israelis from isolation, and in my opinion this should be the case this week, we will at the same time allow the return of the vaccinated to Israel, because despite the aid package, the tourism industry and the economy will not be able to continue to bear the burden.”
To this, Prime Minister Bennett replied: “It will probably happen this week, and we will reach the infection numbers that at the time were said to bring about this change.”
“Cancel the list of red countries this week”
This morning, the Knesset’s Constitution Committee discussed the green label regulations for cultural and prayer events in the open in the framework of the “new corona law,” as well as the Exceptions Committee for entry and exit from Israel due to the corona.
The chairman of the Constitution Committee, MK Gilad Karib, threatened not to approve the list of red states on Tuesday: “The policy of the Population and Immigration Authority is disproportionate. If things had been done according to the Corona Law, we would not have approved the regulations for you. The government decided on its own to implement the Law of Entry into Israel instead of the Corona Law, and if this policy continues – we will change it at the end of the month with the change of the law.
“I heard this morning from the Ministry of Health that he does not find an epidemiological justification for these restrictions, so how can you prevent a CEO from attending his grandmother’s funeral? Where does it sound like a brother can not come to be with his sister who lost her son in a car accident or in a war? Are we in quarantine? In the closure do not stand 40 minutes in a traffic jam, do not celebrate Novi Gad nor the revelry of Baba Sally. “Despite the conclusions of the last hearing, you did not change.”
