Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, and Culture Minister Chili Tropper are meeting with representatives from the arts and culture world, ahead of the expected reinstatement of the so-called “Green Pass” system.

The pass will limit attendance at cultural events to the vaccinated and recovered, or those who show a recent negative test result.

“We didn’t come here to shut you down. We want to be attentive to the cultural world. We aren’t set [in our position], we came here to hear you out,” says Bennett. “We favor the Green Pass. We will soon understand if it’s feasible.”
