Five members of the Israeli Knesset tested positive for the coronavirus over the past week as Israel grapples with a soaring infection rate spurred by the Delta variant.
The MKs who tested positive for the virus are Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir, Religious Zionist MK Simcha Rotman, Labor MK Gilad Kariv, Yesh Atid MK Inbal Bezek and Joint List MK Offer Cassif.
Kariv’s condition worsened overnight Monday and he was hospitalized in Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer. He is currently receiving oxygen assistance and is feeling well.
The Health Ministry confirmed 8,646 new coronavirus cases in the previous 24 hours on Tuesday morning, the highest number of daily cases since February 1.
The number of seriously ill patients rose overnight by 31 to a total of 559, of whom 89 are ventilated. The death toll stands at 6,694.

Hey! Wasn’t the vaccine supposed to stop all this? Wasn’t it supposed to stop hospitalization? Wasn’t it supposed to be safe? Oh. I guess its not as they thought! Who woulda thunk!
Tell the Reform Rabbit to do Teshuvoh and stop destroying Judaism and Hashem will send him a Refuoh Shlemoh.
WHY DO YOU CALL THIS REFORM PRIEST A RABBI?
ישועת השם כהרף עין
Tristate: Really? the vaccine is going to stop Hashem from getting someone sick? Jews take vaccines because this is our Hishtadlus. Goyim take vaccines because they are under the laws of nature.
Kariv should learn from Cuomo’s mistake and not mess with G-d.
