Some 2,000 Israelis accumulated outdoors in the prime minister’s apartment in Jerusalem on Tuesday as protests against Benjamin Netanyahu were settled for his handling of the deepening epidemic, as well as the alleged corruption.
Wearing protective masks, protesters marched in front of Netanyahu’s official in the Israeli parliament, with symptoms saying “Minister of Crime” and calling on the five-term prime minister to resign.
Borders were re-imposed after an increase in the number of new instances led Israelis to call for more state aid to take to the streets in near-daily protests.
Public anger was also fueled through the alleged corruption opposed to Netanyahu, who tried in May on corruption, fraud and abuse of trust; fees he denies.
France has shown 584 new instances in the last 24 hours, according to the latest knowledge from the Ministry of Health. The total number is now 177,338, the ministry said.

The value of beer, wine and spirits sold through grocers was up 41% in the past month, even though pubs in England started to reopen on 4 July, as consumers continue to eat and drink at home. Scottish pubs followed suit on 6 July.
Grocery outlets also generated 24 million pounds more in tea and coffee sales in the following month, and 19 million pounds more pounds of cookies, marking a big change in slats to lead to boiling cooking.

The UK government aims to protect stocks, not from one vaccine or even two, but up to 12 that are being developed worldwide, covering their bets to make sure it has anything that works as soon as it is imaginable to verify and end the health, social and economic devastation caused by Covid-19.
When Oxford University published its first results, apparently her vaccine provoked a smart immune response, Kate Bingham, chair of the government’s vaccine working group, said the strategy was to have a full portfolio, not just a star player.
On Monday, the government announced that it was making an investment in the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine and at one point it is being developed through the French company Valneva, which has a production plant in Scotland. That’s a total of 90 million doses, almost as much as the hundred million received from Oxford.
Bingham said:
The strategy is very clear. We have no style to show us how to get a coronavirus vaccine because it’s never been done.
The goal is to “explore the landscape” and choose some of them in each of the 4 “cubes” as described, the other modalities or technologies used in the world for vaccine development.
