In Yehud and Or Yehuda, where fewer people live in two-story houses, they know how to deal with it better.

We have small apartments and families with many children.

What is happening in the closure is that there are 300 people in one building, we need to sit down and see how we carry out the cabinet's decisions, we need to prepare for that. "

Kiryat Ye'arim Council Chairman Yitzhak Ravitz contacted Health Minister Yuli Edelstein and claimed that the traffic light layout creates a serious distortion in the presentation of the disease data.

"The inclusion of Kiryat Ye'arim in the list of red cities for all that entails is out of place, fundamentally unfounded and completely wrong, and denies all logic and is in complete contradiction to the professional line led by the Ministry of Health."

According to Ravitz, "the inclusion of the settlement in the list of red cities will weaken the residents' required strict adherence to the rules, encourage the avoidance of inspections and lead to a weakening of the local authority's efforts to prevent unnecessary exit from the settlement."



In Bnei Brak, the closure imposed on the city was defined as a "collective punishment," and they asked the government to "fight by our side and not our son."

A statement from the municipality said that "as proved in the first wave, a closure is not the solution. The decision to impose a closure on the city disappoints and increases the distrust of the ultra-Orthodox public in the considerations of the corona projector and decision makers."

"The municipality's determined war in Corona has made it a role model for other authorities and government ministries, so this is a slap in the face that is actually threatened and punished again and again and serves as a scapegoat."

"Quarantine - Collective Punishment".

On the other hand, the mayor of Kafr Qassem, Adir Adel, whose city will also be closed next week, welcomed the decision.

"We agree with Prof. Gamzo's position, and informed him that even if they did not impose a closure, we are Kfar Barra, and Jaljulia would impose a self-closure. Adel explained that" our morbidity is very high, we think we need this tool to reset The data.

We trust our residents to be constructed and smart enough to live in the shadow of the corona with all the guidelines of the Ministry of Health.

I trust Gamzo's conduct, he and his team are professional and matter-of-fact.



Adel referred to the criticism that exists in the ultra-Orthodox sector Corona Projector and said that "people's health is more important, we have reached a situation where there is danger to health and people's lives. There is no locksmith to protect people's lives especially when it comes to a limited period of one to two weeks."

"I want the students to come back as soon as possible."

Samir Mahamid, the mayor of Umm al-Fahm, also joined his friend in saying that "I agree with the measures they are taking, there is no choice but to tighten the restrictions. I want students to come back as soon as possible, maybe this is the way to open schools as soon as possible. I hope it does not take long and we will get out of this mess as soon as possible.



According to Mahamid, "Unfortunately, in our Arab society, the increase in morbidity is due to two factors: failure to maintain isolations and gatherings, especially at weddings held in courtyards.

I agreed with the idea of ​​closure, I did not express opposition, I think with our own hands we have reached this situation, it is personal irresponsibility that has caused much illness.

We were in this film and I think it will lead to good results, because we have no choice. "The



Jerusalem municipality has not been updated so far on the intention to impose restrictions on certain neighborhoods, as published earlier. The municipality opposes the closure and believes it is not the solution to the spread of the disease. Before the gathering, several neighborhoods in the east of the city appeared as red areas, but it is not clear what exactly the restrictions want to be imposed on them and how they can be enforced.
