The Knesset Guard has evacuated Health Minister Uriel Busso from his office after he opened an envelope that contained suspicious powder, the Knesset’s spokesperson’s office says.
“The envelope has been put inside a sealed container designed for cases like this, and will be taken for examination at the Biological Institute,” the statement says.
Busso has been examined by a medic at the parliament, without any symptoms found.
His office has been closed until the examination is complete.
