Defense Minister Benny Gantz has commended the government's plan allowing for cultural institutions to reopen in a limited manner.
"I am proud of [Culture] Minister Tropper, who has determinedly sought solutions for the cultural sector which has been so severely impacted by the coronavirus crisis," he said. "Precisely at such a time, Israeli citizens need cultural activities as much as they need air to breathe, and we plan to enable them to recommence in a responsible and safe manner."
