Netanyahu and head of Mossad in the Quarantine




The new Corona virus forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other ministers to submit to a quarantine, after the Ministry of Health announced that Minister Jacob Litzman was infected with the virus, on Thursday.

The Ministry of Health said in a statement that Jacob Litzman and his wife, who are also infected with the virus, were isolated and were in good condition and receiving treatment.
She added that she would send requests to undergo isolation to those who have been in touch with the minister for the past two weeks, including Netanyahu, other ministers, and the head of the Mossad intelligence service, Yossi Cohen.
 Litzman had contacted Netanyahu several times recently.



The Haaretz newspaper reported that the authorities asked Cohen and the head of the National Security Council to isolate themselves after they met Litzman.
Netanyahu underwent self-isolation after his counselor was found to be infected with the virus, while Israel was close to imposing a full closure to try to contain the outbreak of the virus.


And the government announced more than 6 thousand confirmed cases of corona virus, and 31 deaths, with the spread of the virus in the large isolated Orthodox community in Israel to which Litzman belongs.
In the early stages of the outbreak, some rabbis ignored government movement restrictions, but this resistance appears to have diminished.


On Wednesday, Netanyahu ordered the police to cordon off the heavily militant city of Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv, to limit movement to and from it.
Bnei Brak has the second largest number of Corona virus infections in Israel.

mother's Day

Mother's Day is a celebration that appeared recently at the beginning of the twentieth century, and is celebrated in some countries to honor mothers and motherhood, the mother's association with their children, and the influence of mothers on society. This appeared in the desire of Western and European thinkers, after they found children in their societies neglecting their mothers and not giving their full care to them, so they wanted to make a day of the year to remind the children of their mothers.

With Corona's outbreak, Trump is considering "difficult decision" announcement

    As the new Corona virus continues to claim lives in the United States, President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that he is considering a plan to stop trips to the most affected areas of the Corona virus in the United States. The United States is struggling to contain the deadly epidemic, which US sources have reported may take the lives of at least 100,000 people. "We certainly look at that, but once this step is taken, we are actually imposing restrictions on a much-needed industry," Trump said during a White House press briefing. The move would stop air traffic at airports in New York, New Orleans and Detroit, which are severely affected by the Corona virus. "We're looking at the whole thing," Trump said of halting domestic flights, which have already shrunk considerably, as a result of falling demand. 884 people have died of the corona virus emerging in the United States during the past 24 hours, in the highest daily toll recorded i...
