PMO: Open markets to remain open for now, but decision to be reviewed in three days
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe PMO says that open markets such as Tel Aviv’s Carmel Market and Mahane Yehuda in Jerusalem will remain open for the time being, but that the matter will be reviewed in three days.
According to Haaretz, the Health Ministry had pushed for such markets to be closed as they have been seen to cause crowding among shoppers, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Culture Minister Miri Regev pushed back on the recommendation, concerned that shopowners would not be able to recover from such a decision.
