Baldfaced brazenness: Knesset members said refusing to wear masks

Lawmakers on the Knesset’s Arrangements Committee are refusing to wear masks in parliament, according to reports.

Photos of the barefaced MKs are shared by reporters on social media. They include Yesh Atid MK Boaz Toporovsky.

The Knesset director has instructed parliamentary staff to leave the room so as not to endanger themselves, Channel 13 reports.

Israel has made mask-wearing mandatory and is fining violators. According to the reports, the lawmakers, who enjoy parliamentary immunity, cannot be forced to do so.
