Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleInterior Minister Aryeh Deri tells Channel 12 news that the government is considering imposing a general lockdown on Israel during the first night of Passover, which begins Wednesday evening.
Deri calls on Israelis to prepare for this potential closure and says anyone driving that evening will have to give an explanation for why they are out.
He also says under new restrictions on movement that are expected to be introduced in a number of areas with high rates of infections, Jerusalem will be divided into eight regions, with residents only allowed to shop within the borders of the regions.
