Does the debate split along ideological lines in Israel like it does here? I.e. leftists favoring the lockdown and conservatives generally against it?
Pretty much. A very prominent minister from the religious party resigned over the lockdown, which weakens Netanyahu at a minimum.
Netanyahu is continuing along the line of appeasing Leftists.
I think that’s basically how it goes. Still, I’m surprised they’re doing this, because the High Holy Days are coming up.
