Move would make Israel the first country to reimpose restrictions on a national scale
Israel’s government is set to vote on imposing a second lockdown that could last up to six weeks, a move that would make it the first country to reimpose such severe restrictions on a national scale.
Following a dramatic resurgence in coronavirus cases and fears of mass gatherings during a string of national holidays over the next month, the cabinet debated a proposal on Sunday to shut down the country as of Friday, the Jewish new year.
