Health Ministry Director-General Prof. Hezi Levy addressed the reopening of the education system in an interview with Reshet Bet Sunday morning.

"We wanted to open things up carefully, not to put all the students together in the school and cause infection and morbidity. The next step that is supposed to be on March 7 will include all the students," said Prof. Levy.

Asked whether Israel would give vaccines to Syria, he replied: "This is a deal that if it did take place, the people who set the policy worked on it, and I am not there. I do not know about it."
