The Cabinet joined in a nationwide earthquake drill Sunday by leaving the Cabinet room and exiting the building as it would during an earthquake.  “Ministers are, first of all, Israeli citizens and like everyone, we are taking part in the drill,” said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

He added, “The main point that we would like to make clear to Israeli citizens via this drill and other steps is that in a missile attack we want people to run inside their homes and in an earthquake we want people to run outside their homes.”
