(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz have agreed to impose a third national lockdown to curb a surge in new COVID-19 infections, Israeli television reported Tuesday.
The decision came after Health Ministry Yuli Edelstein said Israel has entered a “third wave” of the virus and has no choice but to enter a full lockdown.
But while Netanyahu and Gantz agreed the public needs time to prepare for another lockdown, they differed on when the sweeping restrictions will come into effect, with Netanyahu preferring as soon as possible and Gantz backing a two-week preparation period, according to the Kan public broadcaster.
