SHAMSUL BASUNIA
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been placed under quarantine after an aide tested positive for Covid-19, his office said on Monday.The premier met with Paluch on Thursday, during negotiations over the formation of a new unity government with rival Benny Gantz. Israel on March 9 closed its airport to most foreign arrivals, with exceptions for those who could meet strict quarantine requirements. The country and its nearly 9 million people are currently under strict lockdown, with only essential movements permitted.
Israeli-occupied West Bank is under a similar lockdown, though confirmed cases remain lower at 106. Gaza Strip has seen nine cases so far, but even those are cause for local panic, as the territory has one of the highest population densities in the world and a healthcare system hollowed out after years of conflict and blockades.
The UN envoy for the Middle East Peace Process on Thursday acknowledged that Israel has been allowing healthcare workers involved in the virus response to move in and out of the West Bank and Gaza, and for critical medical supplies to enter the Strip.
