The Knesset plenum today (Wednesday) approved the extension of the closure regulations until Sunday at midnight. The regulations were approved by the plenum because the chairman of the Knesset committee, MK Eitan Ginzburg, decided not to convene the Knesset committee to approve the extension of the discussion of the regulations, as long as the fines law is not approved.
Against the background of the approval of the extension of regulations, the constitutional meeting was blown up, which sought to reach one version of the Fines Law, which is acceptable to the entire government. This means that enforcement of the corona in these matters will continue as it has until today, so that fines of up to NIS 5,000 can be imposed, but it will not be possible to impose administrative closure orders on educational institutions.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited an immunization center in Sderot earlier today and announced that he would enter the government tomorrow to extend the closure, and that the level of morbidity would determine how long it would last. He added that he would block the land borders of the State of Israel, including Jordan’s roads.
Deputy Health Minister MK Yoav Kish said in the plenum: “This is a deliberate event of a pro-government party that partners with a government that has decided on a closure, and we all understand the insane burden on the health system, and that government prevents the Knesset committee from making a decision.” Bring a proposal to the Knesset to approve the regulations. They mean extending the closure until January 31. Without the approval of the plenum, criminal responsibility for those offenses will be revoked and any fine collected for them will be refunded. “

Until there is equal enforcement, and the closure guidelines are not fully enforced, there is no meaning to continuing closure in our current format.

“We are defending ourselves against the mutation. The British mutation is raging in the world and it also entered Israel. We managed to stop it, we have to take it down and ensure that no new mutations enter that we do not even know,” Netanyahu said during his visit to Sderot.
“To that end, we have established two things: One – closure. I will enter the government tomorrow and I will pass the proposal of the Ministry of Health to the government to extend the closure, we will decide according to the level of morbidity how long. The second thing – we will extend the sealing of our borders. We are the first in the world to close the borders and not allow any commercial flights to enter the State of Israel. I will add to this now the disconnection of land accesses including Jordan roads.
According to Netanyahu, Interior Minister MK Aryeh Deri announced that the land border crossings – the Jordan River, Taba and Arava (Yitzhak Rabin) – will be closed to Israelis and foreigners from tomorrow, January 28, 21 until the end of the month, Sunday, January 31, 2001. 21.
