Interviewed on Galei Tzahal this morning, minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen discussed the re-imposition of the "green pass" regulations, barring entrance to a variety of events and venues to those who have been vaccinated or hold an immunity certificate.

"The aim behind the 'green pass' is very clear and simple," Farkash-Hacohen said. "We want the country to be able to continue functioning and to open the next academic year calmly, while ensuring the safety of our children.

"People who are vaccinated won't feel the impact of the green pass on their lives," she added, "and those who aren't will pay the price - or choose to behave responsibly and get vaccinated."
