Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Sunday outlined the three biggest challenges he sees in the relaxation of coronavirus restrictions as Israel attempts to return to normalcy after a lightning start to its vaccination drive.
The first issue he outlined was the need to locally reopen school activities for grades 7-10, which have largely spent the past year distance-learning.

Lastly, he urged Israelis to refrain from large gatherings during the upcoming Purim holiday, adding that "more restrictions will be needed to ensure everyone's safety."
