An Israeli television report asserts students 12 and over will be barred from school if they don’t get vaccinated or display a negative coronavirus test result, a claim by the Prime Minister’s Office.
The network says the reported decision was made at a meeting today attended by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and top health officials.
“The report about the decision made at a deliberation led by the prime minister, according to which an unvaccinated student won’t be allowed to enter school, is not true,” Bennett’s spokesman says in a statement.
