Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSenior ministers approve the resumption of train operations beginning Monday, according to Hebrew reports.
There is no immediate confirmation of the decision. Train operations have been halted for three months, and the date for resuming its lines has been postponed multiple times.
The high-level coronavirus cabinet is also expected to authorize the reopening of cultural venues.
Netanyahu, in a tweet, says he hopes to formulate a plan for the cultural venues’ reopening within 24 hours, with Health Ministry restrictions.
The shows and performances, however, may be capped at 250 participants, Hebrew reports say.
The decisions come as the number of virus cases continues to rise.
