Before midnight, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raised the Ministry of Health's proposal to extend the closure until midnight on Sunday for a vote in the government, contrary to the blue and white position.
Blue and white ministers voted against, but the decision passed.
Blue and white chairman Bnei Gantz subsequently sought a legal opinion from Mandelblit, as the law requires privacy in decision-making and voting.
The ombudsman ruled that the decision was not passed as required, since according to the coalition agreement the vote is between the blocs and not according to the number of ministers in the government.
These are the reliefs that will apply on Sunday at 7:00 a.m.:
Canceled limit the distance of 1,000 meters from the house
canceled the ban to stay in someone else
open jobs that do not receive public
open spaces responsible for making public a "one on one"
more Pickup (takeaway) shops and restaurants
open BB accommodation nuclear families
will open in nature reserves and air The
opening of early childhood education will be agreed between the Ministries of Education and Health
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "It is good that the government accepted the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and I recommended, with only minor changes. The closure will continue until Sunday morning. I ask the public to keep the guidelines very strict and go vaccinated. The vaccines work. And above - we can open the economy gradually, carefully and responsibly. "
Health Minister Yuli (Yoel) Edelstein: "I am glad that common sense has won. Public health is above all political debate. We must not play with human life. I call on everyone - even in the gradual opening from Sunday - to follow the guidelines."
