Shaked said to propose temporarily barring quarantine violators from leaving Israel

In the first meeting of the new coronavirus cabinet, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked suggests anyone caught violating quarantine after returning from overseas should be barred from leaving the country for a given period, according to Hebrew media reports.

But Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar and Science Minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen say the move is disproportional, with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit backing their position, the reports say.
