Cabinet to convene (virtually) at 11 p.m. to discuss further restrictions

The cabinet meeting to vote on further restrictions on movements and the economy will now be held at 11 p.m.

Ministers are expected to approve, via teleconference, the deployment of soldiers to enforce lockdown rules and may green-light further curbs on the economy, or even order a full closure of the country.

According to Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, 700 unarmed soldiers will aid police in enforcing the government’s pandemic regulations.
