Abbas extends West Bank state of emergency until July 4
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has extended the state of emergency in the West Bank due to the coronavirus crisis for another thirty days.
“The status quo is still the same. There are no lockdowns. The state of emergency is simply to control areas in which infections may appear in the coming period,” Palestinian Authority government spokesperson Ibrahim Milhim writes on Twitter.
The state of emergency in the West Bank is now due to end on July 4.
