After a day of complex discussions, we have made a decision:
Whoever arrives in Israel from abroad will enter
quarantine for 14 days. This is a difficult decision
but it is essential to maintaining public health, which takes
precedence over everything. This decision will be in
effect for two weeks. At the same time,
we will make decisions to safeguard the Israeli economy.
The foreign tourists that remained as I had stated are 64 tourists,
who will all leave Bethlehem during the coming hours, and thus,
there will not be any tourist present in the Palestinian Territories.
There are instructions from the Prime minister,
on not receiving tourists in the Palestinian Territories.
As the prime minister had said earlier this morning, we are
assessing the possibility of closure with the Jordanian side
and the Israeli side if the matters develop God forbid to the closure
of the borders, all the precautionary procedures,
we will take to protect population.
