In a press conference on Saturday,Prime Minister Netanyahu made a series of recommendations in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Among them was a unity government in order to effectively tackle the outbreak. The Prime Minister added that he wants to implement a wide array of measures that can not be done in an interim government and called on rival Benny Gantz to join him in a united coalition.

Towards the end of the presser, Netanyahu also said that he will “consult with rabbis because I want to hear what they have to say.”

The Prime Minister didn’t go into any further details however reports are surfacing that the PM will meet with Rabbi Kanievsky, the world’s most respected rabbi.

Last week, the chief rabbi called on Israelis not to visit the Western Wall on Thursday. Additionally, religious decrees have been brought down to stop kissing mezzuzahs with some going as far as closing down synagogues.
