WhatsappAs the parts of Europe and even areas of North America decide to come back on line, the Israeli government decided to open up its economy by lifting off many of the restrictive conditions it placed over the pat 2 months.
While schools have not returned to normal functioning, many businesses have begun to open with very serious rules in place. Some of these rules prevent businesses from allowing shoppers to enter. Others will only make deliveries.

Prime Minister Netanyahu will be remembered once again for steering Israel through a global crisis, much the same as he did after the global recession at the end of 2008 and early 2009.
