Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said that he is postponing a trip planned for the UAE and Bahrain due to Israel’s Covid-19 lockdown.
Israel imposed a third national lockdown in late December to fight surging Covid-19 infections. However, local media reports last week noted that the government was contemplating its extension.
