Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Naftali Bennett visits the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak to assess how the Tel Aviv suburb is responding to its major outbreak of the coronavirus.
Wearing a face mask but no gloves, Bennett visits stores and supermarkets in the city and meets with its mayor, Avraham Rubinstein, and the head of the coronavirus task force, Maj. Gen. (res.) Roni Numa, his office says.
“Residents of Bnei Brak are behaving exceptionally. IDF soldiers gave support to Bnei Brak residents, who are our brothers. The situation in Bnei Brak is complex, but I am glad that we are seeing a big response by residents of adhering to directives,” Bennett says in a statement.
