Gantz, Netanyahu agree on return to school of grades 5-6, 11-12 in green, yellow towns

The coronavirus cabinet will approve the return to school of fifth and sixth graders next Tuesday in so-called “green” and “yellow” communities with low-to-medium infection rates, according to Hebrew media reports.

Reports indicate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz have agreed on the matter. Meanwhile, grades 11-12 will return on December 1.

The two have also agreed on a nighttime curfew in all non-green communities.
