Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein and Culture and Sports Minister Hili Tropper, in coordination with the National Security Council, on Wednesday agreed that cultural events could immediately resume with up to 250 people participating.
Events with crowds larger than 250 people and up to 500 people will subject to the approval of the Director General of the Ministry of Culture and Sport.
Before the meeting, Netanyahu met with representatives of the cultural and events industry.
"I really want to hear you and I really want to help you. I know there is distress, we want to deal with the distress, and so I also asked the Finance Minister to join us. We'll hear you, and we'll do our best," Netanyahu told them.
On Monday, thousands of workers from the cultural and events industry demonstrated outside the Finance Ministry in Jerusalem, calling for the immediate opening of the cultural institutions in order to allow them to make a living.
