All civil servants banned from work trips abroad; IDF chief calls off US visit
The Civil Service Commission bans all work trips abroad for civil servants, based on the new directives issued by the Health Ministry in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
In light of that decision, the military announces that a planned work visit to the US next week by army chief Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi will be postponed.
The Israel Defense Forces says the decision was made in consultation with the Health Ministry.
The military does not specify a new date for the visit.
