Prominent journalist, Netanyahu critic, loses TV job
Picture
Channel 13 diplomatic correspondent among nearly 40 people who received dismissal letters from station, close associates suspect political motive behind firing

A prominent journalist known for breaking diplomatic scoops and critical coverage of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received notice Sunday he was being dismissed.

Barak Ravid, Channel 13 TV’s diplomatic correspondent, was among nearly 40 people who received dismissal letters from the station.

Ravid has gained a reputation for breaking stories about Israel’s relations with the U.S., the European Union and other foreign partners. His reporting has upset Netanyahu at times, and the prime minister has publicly rebuked Ravid in the past.

In recent months, Ravid has had exclusive interviews with White House adviser Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s top Mideast adviser, and the foreign minister of Bahrain, an Arab country that does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. He also writes for the online news site “Axios,” and is known as a key source of information among Washington insiders and Mideast experts.

Axios national political reporter tweeted Ravid may find he has a bigger home at that organization.

A person familiar with the situation on Channel 13 said Ravid’s dismissal letter cited him for having poor “professional results.”

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing a personnel matter.

Noa Landau, the diplomatic correspondent at the Haaretz daily and a friend of Ravid, said on Twitter that the dismissal has the “scent of a political assassination.”

In a statement to Haaretz, Channel 13 said it was dealing with a financial streamlining process that has forced it to “bid farewell to outstanding professionals.” It said the process could be continued “within the organization, not outside it,” due to privacy concerns.

Israel sees 5 deaths, 1052 coronavirus cases in one day
Picture
The Health Ministry reports that since midnight the number of active COVID-19 patients has risen to 13,653, with an alarming 5.2% infection rate; ministers also vote to impose a lockdown on the settlement of Beitar Illit, latest virus hotspot

Israel on Tuesday recorded five new coronavirus deaths and more than 1,000 new cases, health officials confirmed.

In addition, a special ministerial committee voted to impose a lockdown on the settlement of Beitar Illit for a week over the high coronavirus infection rate in the area. The lockdown is set to take place from Wednesday, July 8, at 8am to Wednesday July 15, at 8am.

The Health Ministry said since midnight Tuesday, 1,052 people tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the number of active patients currently sick with the disease to 13,653. The number of coronavirus-related deaths now stands at 342.

The ministry said the infection rate has gone up to an alarming 5.2%, having fallen to 4.6% a day earlier.

At least 358 patients are being treated in hospitals, with the rest fighting the virus at home or at specially designated hotels. The ministry said 86 people are currently in a serious condition, with 34 requiring ventilator support.

The Health Ministry added the number of patients being admitted to hospitals in a serious condition is on the increase, despite recording a slight drop from the morning hours when the count stood at 87.

According to the report, Jerusalem recorded the biggest rise in new diagnoses since midnight, with 124 cases, followed by Tel Aviv with 38, Bnei Brak with 36 and Ashdod with 26.

Earlier, the Coronavirus National Information and Knowledge Center said over 1,000 new cases were reported in Israel in the past 24 hours, marking the second time within a week the number of daily diagnoses exceeded the 1,000 mark.

No masks, no rules: Illicit high school parties trigger virus outbreak

39 young people infected with coronavirus after Ra'anana bash; attendee at Modi'in party says 'kids were sharing bottles of alcohol and hugging a lot' in final act of rebellion after ban on graduation events that did not take them into consideration

At least 39 students from Ra'anana in central Israel have tested positive for COVID-19 after taking part in one of numerous illicit high school graduation parties that violate health regulations, as Israel battles with a surging second wave of the pandemic.

The parties are going ahead in secluded nature locations despite the Education Ministry ban on these events.


The graduating students did not maintain any of the health guidelines for social distancing or mask-wearing, in fact "they shared bottles of drink and hugged a lot. They just did not care," said one student.

Students from S.'s school in Modi'in hired a DJ, bought alcohol and went to great lengths to keep the venue a secret.


"They told everyone not to post any pictures on social media so that the police would not get wind of the party and close us down," she said.

"The kids came to let loose, they just wanted to end their school life with a great time."

In some places, students themselves alerted authorities to the planned parties and many of the people there were fined by police.


S. described the evening as the last time they would be able to rebel.

"The decision to ban parties was made without hearing any of us out, with no consideration of our feelings, we were ignored so we decided to ignore them and their guidelines," she said.


Parents in some schools firmly clamped down any ideas the kids may have had to hold their own graduation parties.

Limor, whose daughter graduated from a Herzliya high school, said the kids were so disappointed when told they had to cancel their proms.

"The girls bought dresses and had hair and make up [professionals] all lined up so the cancellations were very depressing."

Limor said that some of the students in her daughter's class were enlisting in the IDF within a few days and the party was supposed to be a send-off for them.


"It was really frustrating to not have a proper good bye," she said.

Israel is in the midst of a renewed outbreak of COVID-19, with numbers of new cases exceeding 1,000 on Monday for the second time in one week.

Two Israelis have succumbed to complications of COVID-19 on Monday raising the national death toll from the pathogen to 338.

Among 12,717 patients currently battling the virus, 86 are in serious condition, of which 36 are on ventilators.

Public Health chief quits with damning criticism of government over coronavirus
Picture
In resignation letter, Prof. Siegal Sadetzki criticizes rapid reopening of economy following first wave of pandemic, says her opinions and advice were ignored as Israel saw rise in infection; health minister unaware of decision to resign

Prof. Siegal Sadetzki, head of the public health services in the Health Ministry, announced on Tuesday her resignation for the post with a letter slamming the government response to the coronavirus pandemic.

In the letter, which was sent to the ministry's new director-general, Prof. Hezi Levi, Sadetzki criticized the reopening strategy of the economy following the first wave of coronavirus infections.

Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, who learned of Sadetzki's resignation during an interview with Ynet, said he "did not know of any letter."

Sadetzki writes in the letter that the rush to reopen the economy had a ruinous effect.

"Our achievements during the first wave vanished following the wide and quick reopening of the economy," wrote Sadetzki.

"The transition following the first wave was wider and more hasty than in other Western nations," she said. "The treatment of the virus and the way decisions were made fundamentally changed, resulting in the steep rise in morbidity."

"Because of this, unfortunately, a severe denial proliferated in regards to the level of morbidity and to the consequences of decision making regarding the virus," she said.

"While public statements said that decisions and initiatives would change according to their effect on the general public, in reality, the reopening of the economy was done with severe shortening of the timetables and without any 'precautionary measures' – despite the data showing the situation is worsening. Only last weekend, have murmurs begun to be heard about initiating restrictive measures that were done too little and too late in my opinion," she wrote.

"I hope that I will be found wrong in the end, and hope that my warnings in various forums were redundant, that the nighttime talks I held were unnecessary and my projections for the national morbidity from the virus will be found to be false. I hope I am wrong."

She continued: "The first wave was characterized by professional and ethical leadership, that focused on human lives above anything else. My sense is that as time went on, we turned away from a professional, proactive response to events to decision-makers with no authority reacting belatedly to reality.

"The results of this change are very apparent," she said. "Global experience with epidemics shows that refraining from the tough choices because lawmakers and experts worry about consequences eventually hurts us ten-fold. For weeks, the handling of the virus has lost direction. Despite systematic warnings and debates, we are seeing the window of opportunity closing fast.

"Because of this, and since my advice and opinions on the matter were ignored – I am no longer capable of effectively assisting in stopping the virus' spread," she said.

Daily virus diagnoses exceed 1,000 for 2nd time in a week
Picture
Two Israelis succumb to COVID-19, raising the nation's coronavirus fatalities to 338; number of serious patients rises to 89, among them 36 patients on ventilators

The National Coronavirus Information and Knowledge Center and the Health Ministry reported on Tuesday 1,057 new cases of coronavirus, marking the second time within a week the number of daily positive diagnoses exceeds 1,000.

In the last 24 hours, two Israelis have succumbed to complications of COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, raising the national death toll from the pathogen to 338.

Among 12,717 patients currently battling the virus, 86 are in serious condition, out of which 36 are on to ventilators.

The Health Ministry reported that 23,046 coronavirus tests were conducted on Monday.

Since the onset of the pandemic in the country, 31,186 Israelis have tested positive for coronavirus and at least 18,131 patients have recovered so far.

The Knesset passed a law in the early hours of Tuesday to shorten the legislative process and bypass the need for parliamentary approval on decisions surrounding newly implemented coronavirus restrictions.

The legislation gives the government authority to declare a state of emergency due to the pandemic and make changes to coronavirus restrictions, and only then seek Knesset's approval.

Under the legislation, the government can declare a state of emergency without Knesset approval when it believes “there is a real risk that the virus will spread and pose serious harm to public health if no action is taken.”

Israel's number of confirmed coronavirus cases reaches 30,000

The National Information and Knowledge Center says the infection rate has slightly gone down from being the highest in weeks a day earlier; the number of people in quarantine has gone up to 40,250, after law allowing phone tracking of patients takes effect

Israel's number of confirmed coronavirus cases has reached 30,000 for the first time since the start of the outbreak, health officials confirmed.

The Coronavirus National Information and Knowledge Center and The Health Ministry both reported the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases now stands at 30,162.

The center, part of IDF's intelligence unit, also reported that 817 people tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday alone. At least 17,752 tests were conducted, putting the infection rate at 4.6%, slightly down from the contagion rate reported a day earlier.


On Sunday, the contagion rate stood at 5.2%, the highest it has been in two weeks.

The report said Israel's coronavirus-related death toll has increased to 332, after a 78-year-old patient with underlying health conditions passed away at the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera.

The Health Ministry said the number of patients in serious condition has risen to 89, with 32 people in need of ventilator support. The number of active patients has increased to 11,856.

The ministry added that 332 patients are currently being treated in hospital, with the rest fighting the virus either at home or at hotels, which have been turned into "coronavirus recovery centers."


The number of Israelis currently in quarantine has gone up to 40,250 after the order allowing phone tracking of confirmed coronavirus carriers by the Shin Bet, went into effect on Thursday.

Israel hits new high for active coronavirus cases, with 11,189 currently sick
Picture
Israel has seen another slight drop in the number of daily coronavirus cases, but the total number of active patients has reached a record high with more than 11,000 diagnoses, health officials said on Sunday morning.

The Health Ministry reported that 804 new COVID-19 cases were recorded on Saturday, bringing the total number of active patients to 11,189, the highest since the start of the epidemic in Israel.


The Health Ministry said another nine patients were hospitalized in a serious condition, bringing the total number of serious cases to 86, with 29 of them in need of ventilator support.

According to health officials, since midnight Sunday, 130 people tested positive for coronavirus.

The ministry said the number of tests conducted on Saturday stands at 16,342, bringing the infection rate to 4.9%.

The Coronavirus National Information and Knowledge Center, however, put the number of tests conducted on Saturday at slightly above 15,000, raising the contagion rate to 5,2%, the highest in the past two weeks.

The center, which is part of IDF's intelligence unit, said that since the start of July, 3,846 new coronavirus cases were reported in Israel, averaging 961 patients a day, the highest since the peak of the outbreak in the beginning of April.


Jerusalem still has the highest number of confirmed virus cases with 1,416 diagnoses, followed by Tel Aviv with 981, Bnei Brak with 842 and Ashdod with 644.

According to the report, over the past the Haredi city of Bnei Bark saw the highest number of COVID-19 diagnoses in the country, with 450 cases.

Earlier, Bnei Brak Municipality confimred that at least 140 students from Yeshivat Beit Matityahu in the Haredi city have tested positive for coronavirus.

Bnei Brak Mayor Rabbi Avraham Rubinstein as a result approved the decision to boost enforcement teams in the city, which will focus on private educational institutions and yeshivas in the city.


140 students at Bnei Brak yeshiva test positive for coronavirus

At least 140 students from a yeshiva in the Haredi city of Bnei Brak have tested positive for coronavirus, health officials confirmed on Sunday.

Bnei Brak has emerged as COVID-19 hotspot at the start of the epidemic in Israel and currently has the second highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country, with Jerusalem currently topping the alarming chart.

Eighty of the infected at Yeshivat Beit Matityahu have already been transported to specially designated hotels, meant to treat patients in mild condition, and 60 others are still waiting to be evacuated.

The students will most likely be taken to a coronavirus treatment center in Nir Etzion, a religious moshav shitufi in northern Israel, which is set to begin operating sometime on Sunday.

There are over 500 students attending the prestigious religious school, all of whom are currently in isolation.

Last week, when the outbreak at the yeshiva was first revealed, Bnei Brak Municipality in an emergency meeting, decided to impose restrictions on movement in and around the educational institution, with police enforcing entry bans on anyone who is not a resident of the street where the school is located.


Bnei Brak Mayor Rabbi Avraham Rubinstein also approved the decision to boost enforcement teams, which will focus on private educational institutions and yeshivas in the city.

"The policy in Bnei Brak is zero tolerance for any violation of coronavirus regulations," said the mayor. "We will continue to abide the laws in order to stop the infection."

Israeli confirmed coronavirus cases exceeded 1,000 per day for the first time.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday reintroduced restrictions on public gatherings as coronavirus continues to rapidly fan out throughout the country including a limit of up to 20 people at closed spaces - such residential homes; and a limit of 50 people at bars, clubs, event halls, and synagogues.

A decision concerning the opening of restaurants was put off for a later date due to internal disputes between the ministries of health and finance.

Netanyahu said that if Israel wishes to keep the economy going, certain restrictions must be introduced to combat the continued spread of coronavirus.


"The virus is not gone, it is still here and kicking," said Netanyahu. "I stressed that opening up the economy is contingent on the health guidelines."

Ministers announced no new restrictions on public transportation and shopping centers since their opening is contingent upon adhering to public health regulations.
