Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned at the Cabinet meeting on Sunday that the fifth COVID wave has already hit Israel.
Health officials shared alarming data with the prime minister showing that a significant COVID outbreak surpassing the Delta outbreak is expected within less than three weeks and perhaps as early as two weeks.
Bennett is seeking to buy time before the outbreak hits by adding additional countries to Israel’s “red list,” Channel 12 News reported.
Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked warned at the meeting that Israel could have tens of thousands of COVID cases within four weeks along with thousands of shuttered classrooms, the report said.
Health Minister Nitzan Horowtiz told Army Radio on Sunday that travel restrictions are necessary to “buy time” and stem the entry of the Omicron into Israel.
Also on Sunday, nine Knesset members were instructed to enter quarantine after being in contact with a Knesset Channel reporter who was diagnosed with COVID and is suspected of carrying the Omicron variant.

There’s also a fifth column of the Shulchan Aruch (Jewish Law) – it’s called common sense. The c19 injection is based on allopathic scientific medical theory – unproved, unrecompensed, and without common sense. It is only the highly ‘vaccinated’ countries that are suffering from these newer variant outbreaks. Vaccination is from the cult of molech.
#EFFECTIVE vaccines!
What a sad pathetic joke
Bennett is seeking to buy time before the outbreak hits But the heading of this article is that “5th Wave Is Here” so these 2 assertions are contradicting each-other.
But closing the border surely isn’t solving anything other than destroying livelihoods of people in the tourist industry. But why would wicked bennett care? His girl friends came for the pageantry, which is all that he cares about.
These nut jobs are confusing cases with deaths
Omicron is looking nightly good right now as it has the chance to give blanket immunity (unlike the vaccine) within pretty low risk. It’s a mutated version that so far appears far milder.
This man is morally repugnant. Denying Jews the opportunity to come to Eretz Yisrael is disgusting. ושם רשעים ירקב
There is not much to fear from the OmiCold / Moronic (same letters as Omicron). It has the symptoms of a bad cold and b”H we are blessed to have this variant that will hopefully put an end to whatever’s left of the plandemic.
Headline – December 19, 2023:
PM BIBI: 17th WAVE IS HERE, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CASES, EVERYONE 2 YEARS AND OLDER MUST GO OUT & GET 14TH BOOSTER.
