Netanyahu says fines could be increased, lockdown to be reevaluated Thursday
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in a video released on social media that decisions on the continuation of the nationwide coronavirus lockdown will be made on Thursday, while tomorrow, the government will weigh increasing fines for violations.
“The lockdown rules are not against the public, they are against the virus,” the premier says.
“I ask our nation to come together like the four species,” he says, referring to four plant varieties used during the Jewish festival of Sukkot, currently being celebrated.
