In a call to the convention, ministers agreed to enlarge the existing state of emergency due to the coronavirus, and Israel proceeded to have one of the rates of new infections in the world.
A group of the Prime Minister’s Office says ministers will ask the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee to definitively approve the extension of the state of emergency until November 7, before the expiry of September 6.
The resolution adopted through ministers cites “the fact that there is still a genuine threat of a widespread outbreak of coronavirus and significant harm to public health” as an explanation of why the state of emergency will need to be extended.

The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health said there were 536 new cases of the new coronavirus among Palestinians: 460 in the West Bank, 40 in East Jerusalem and 36 in the Gaza Strip. Approximately 13% of the tests tested positive, well above the World Health Organization’s 5% threshold for virus control.
On Friday, the number of cases among Palestinians reached a record 724 cases in line with the day in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
Approximately part of the new infections (255 cases) have been detected in Hebron governorate, which remains the focus of the epidemic in the West Bank. In the latter stages of the West Bank’s wave of moments, only a few dozen cases occurred outdoors in Hebron governorate. But today, almost part of the cases are spreading to other parts of the West Bank, adding more than 1,000 in Ramallah-El Bireh governorate.

Defense Minister Benny Gantz said his Kakhol Lavan party’s ministers would make the coronavirus tsar’s plan to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gantz sits with Gamzu before an assembly of the so-called coronavirus cabinet, when the plan is approved after a vote to adopt it, has been delayed several times.
Kakhol Lavan’s boss told Gamzu that the Ministry of Defense is preparing to space out Israelis returning from Ouman to Rosh Hashanah in special hotels for the coronavirus, “according to the framework that will be agreed between [Gamzu] and the team of ministers.”
Gamzu expressed opposition to allowing the Israelis to go to Ouman for Rosh Hashanah, warning that those returning from Ukraine can simply spread the virus to Israel. Ukraine announced last week that it would close its borders to non-citizens in September.
Efforts to save the pilgrimage to Ouman, home to the tomb of the respected Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, have infuriated members of the Hasidic sect and some of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s ultra-Orthodox allies.
U.S. national security adviser Robert O’Brien, speaking to Netanyahu and Kushner as a joint appearance, said Israel’s security remains a “top priority” in the White House and promotes U.S. Middle Eastern policy under U.S. President Donald Trump.
He said the long-term of Israel and the Arab countries “has never been brighter” and expressed the hope that the Jewish state would soon identify diplomatic relations with other states in the region, following the standardization agreement between Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi.
“God bless Israel and God bless the United States of America,” O’Brien says.
Speaking after O’Brien, Jared Kushner said the conclusion of the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates “is a long and winding road.” Advances like this, he says, don’t “happen often” and don’t “happen easily.”
Kushner lists a number of pro-Israel management policies, adding Jerusalem’s popularity as Israel’s capital and Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and also promotes the assassination of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and U.S. movements in the region.
He said the publication of Trump’s peace proposal was the “big breakthrough” that led to the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. “There will be many more to come.”
He says the president has “written a script for a new Middle East,” from his first presidency to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Rome. “It has reversed 20 years of poor effects in the Middle East” and laid the foundation for progress.
“Many others have described the state of the Middle East as desperate,” Kushner recalls, but in recent weeks “I have felt a new sense of optimism. Array… The level is now in a position for even more [chords],” says Array
He adds: “Four years ago, my father-in-law [Trump] asked me to paint about peace in the Middle East. I gave it my all. There are still many paintings to be done, but Abraham’s agreement [with the United Arab Emirates] is a big step forward. Participating in the creation of the [standardization agreement], and I say this as the grandson of two Holocaust survivors, means more to me and my circle of relatives than I will ever be. We will continue to seek peace between Israel, the biblical homeland of the Jewish people, and their Arab and Muslim neighbors, and I have never been so positive about peace.
Finally, Kushner said, the president asked him to emphasize how proud he is “of the bond he has been about to re-establish between the United States and Israel.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks at a press convention at his official in Jerusalem after a meeting with senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and national security adviser Robert O’Brien.
Netanyahu says “it’s a special pleasure” to host the delegation before it travels together with Israeli officials tomorrow on the first ever commercial passenger flight between Israel and the United Arab Emirates
“It will pave the way for other countries to normalize their ties with Israel. I think for too long the Palestinians have had a veto on peace. Not only between Israel and the Palestinians but between Israel and the Arab world,” he says, referring to the US-brokered deal for Israel and the UAE to normalize ties.
He adds: “If we’d have to wait for the Palestinians, we’d have to wait forever. No longer.”
Praising Trump’s peace proposal, Netanyahu says no Jew or Palestinian will have to leave their homes, that Israel will be able to annex West Bank areas and maintain security west of the Jordan Valley.
He says the Palestinians, when they realize their veto has dissipated, “will struggle to stay out of the peace community.”
Other states “are online” to make peace with Israel, the prime minister said, noting that Kushner had been ridiculed for suggesting that this procedure might take place. “We know the truth has replaced,” Netanyahu says, “because we have replaced it.”
On Iran, Netanyahu praised Trump’s leadership for opposing Tehran’s “war machine” and fleeing the nuclear deal restricting Iran’s nuclear program.
BERLIN – Senior German officials condemn attempts by far-right demonstrators and others to provoke a typhoon in the construction of parliament following a protest against the country’s pandemic restrictions.
Hundreds of people, some with the German Reich flag of 1871-1918 and other far-right banners, broke a security fence in front of the Reichstag last night, but were intercepted by police and forcibly evicted.
“The Reich flags and far-right provocations against the German Bundestag are an unbearable attack on the center of our democracy,” German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said today. “We’ll never settle for that.”
Steinmer said others have the right to express their anger at restrictions on coronaviruses and to them publicly, adding demonstrations.
“My sympathy ends where protesters are used through enemies of democracy and political agitators,” he adds.
Police used pepper spray to repel protesters, who had attended a giant demonstration in the capital that same day.
About three hundred other people were arrested outdoors from the Reichstag and after an incident at the Russian embassy, according to police.
Berlin’s most sensible security official, Andreas Geisel, praised three officials who opposed the Reichstag’s open-air protesters alone until reinforcements arrived. Opposition parties criticize the inability of the police to place enough officials in Parliament despite far-right public warnings that they were making plans to verify entry to the building.
Robert Habeck, co-leader of the German Green Party, for a thorough investigation into the incident.
“The fact that the Nazis with imperial flags are looking for a typhoon in the Bundestag is a reminder of the darkest era in German history,” he told media group Funke.
“An incident like Saturday night won’t happen again,” Habeck said. “I hope that The Minister of the Interior (federal), Horst Seehofer, will fight decisively against right-wing extremism at all levels.
Opinion polls show overwhelming preventive measures imposed through the German authorities, such as the requirement to wear a mask on public transport, in department stores and in some public buildings such as libraries and schools.

BEIRUT – Lebanese security forces arrested three Egyptians wanted in their home country for participating in an alleged group rape six years ago.
The arrests, reported last night, adhere to an Interpol report for suspects at Egypt’s request.
A Lebanese security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with regulations, said “legal and administrative procedures” were being carried out to deport the 3 men, who are just over 30 years old.
The case was discovered through a social media account after sexual assault in Egypt. The alleged group rape took place at a five-star hotel in Cairo in 2014, however, news of the attack did not come until July when an Instagram account, the Assault Police, reported the allegations as part of a vigorous crusade #MeToo that swept Egypt this summer.
Last week, Egyptian prosecutors named men as suspects: seven had already left the country after rape allegations went viral in July.
Five of the suspects have arrived in Lebanon, according to a member of the Lebanese internal security forces. At Egypt’s request, 3 were arrested Friday night in the village of Fatqa, north of Beirut, while the other two reportedly left Lebanon.
Two suspects were arrested in Egypt, adding one last week as he tried to flee the country. The location of the suspects is unknown.

A Hasidic Jew who demonstrated in Jerusalem last night opposing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for efforts to save them from a pilgrimage from Rosh Hashanah to Ouman warns the prime minister that “there will be no rest” until they are allowed to go to the Ukrainian city. .
“We tell Prime Minister Netanyahu that there are thousands of hasidim waiting to reach Uman. There will be no rest. Every day there will be noise and he will feel and listen to us,” said the protester, known through his first call Eliyahu. He told army radio.
Netanyahu said yesterday he was appointing a ministerial team to look into allowing flights to Uman for the Jewish new year, days after Ukraine announced it was closing its borders to all foreign travelers during September.
His announcement came when an organization of two hundred Hasidic Jews protesting the ban joined a weekly demonstration against Netanyahu outdoors in the prime minister’s apartment in Jerusalem. Some of the prime minister’s Dodi political allies also opposed the ban.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, leader of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, said he is running for a solution that allows hajj to go on to Uman.
“But we have to perceive that we are in an age of epidemic and not even the excellent collection at Uman this year can be positioned in its [normal] format and there will have to be a limited format,” he told the station. . Station.
Only by killing an Israeli soldier will Hezbollah be persuaded that deterrence has been restored, ending tensions on Israel’s northern border, said Lebanese terrorist Hassan Nasrallah.
“I want to be more clear than at any previous time: when Israel kills one of our fighters, we will kill one of your soldiers,” Nasrallah says in a televised speech to mark the holiday of Ashura.
Tensions have emerged between Hezbollah and Israel since Israel allegedly killed Hezbollah commander Ali Kamel Mohsen in an airstrike on 20 July near Damascus airport. Overall, Israel does not comment on express movements in Syria, it has stated that Israeli forces are making such air movements.
Nasrallah says Israel hopes to allow an exchange of chimneys that would damage assets at once and end the escalation.
“That’s the equation. We’re going to blow up iron sites, fences and tanks. [The enemy] has all the money in the world to update them. That’s what creates deterrent to Israel,” he says.
According to Nasrallah, Hezbollah fighters operating along the border fence in recent weeks had refrained from attacking Israeli drones and aircraft while they were killed by an Israeli soldier.
“Israel knows we weren’t there for a device to destroy. We went to get a soldier to kill,” Nasrallah added. Then he hid all his soldiers. Like mice hiding.
“It’s a matter of battlefield. It’s only a matter of time. And we’re in no hurry,” he warns.
