Israel Teachers Union chief Yaffa Ben-David expresses opposition to Education Minister Yifat Shasha-Biton’s plan for reopening schools.

“The plan as published in the media does not provide a response to education workers and school administrators concerning basic scenarios, when the coronavirus is raising its head and quickly spreading,” Ben-David writes in a letter to Shasha-Biton.
