The new restrictions approved by the government on Monday led to great anger among the couples who were due to marry this week. A few days after it was decided to reduce the number of participants in events in confined halls to 50 people, today the ministers decided to order the closing of the event halls, clubs, pools and gyms, and many Israelis remain unanswered.

Adir Nagar and Ortal Cohen were due to get married this Wednesday, but following the restrictions they had to cancel the wedding for the third time.

"We rained the rain three times," Carpenter says. "We were supposed to get married in March, May and this Wednesday and now we have to cancel again."

He adds that the announcement of the new restrictions came just as he and his partner phoned their invitees to attach them to the 50-man capsule layout. "Mentally I have nothing to say anymore," Carpenter shares. "We don't know whether to laugh or cry. We are very nervous - and all our anger will be channeled into demonstrations. We will demand what we deserve as couples and as a society."

• Government ministers approve: will close clubs, banqueting rooms, swimming pools and gyms

• Event hall owners are furious: "Have you closed?

• Ruthie Brodo: "Enough to scare people"

In a conversation with Israel Today, a carpenter attacks: "The immediate closure of the event halls will lead to insolvency, which means that every outline will not be respected for the benefit of the couples. They will not go to sleep in the government. If the halls are closed - the state will be closed.

"Our interest, the couples, is that the halls will not go insolvent. Then we will make the war as couples. I don't understand why bars and synagogues are open? It's more important to drink beer? I have nothing against prayers but if they decide to close - then they will close everything."

Noam Levy, chairman of the Association of Halls and Banquets, and the owner of Camilo - The Green House defines the changes in government restrictions on the halls as "tough coping".

"It's the exact opposite of the nature of our work," he says. "We always have an atmosphere of joy because we are halls of joy. Now it's a completely opposite situation.

Levy refers to government-approved restrictions, saying: "The decision is from the Ministry of Health, who came and said that most of the contagions - in the dance floor. I say there are adhesions everywhere in the economy. We are not trying to fight and violate the Ministry of Health's decisions, so we are negotiating with the Treasury. Meet with the Treasury Director General of the Turner Foundation, to see what the aid program will give us. We asked that they give us the basic expenses so that we could meet. Our fixed expenses are 30 percent of our turnover. As part of the assistance, the Finance Minister requested that we close down the couples' advances issue and give them proper treatment. Whoever wants to - will postpone the event, and anyone who doesn't - will receive compensation for their investment. "
