The Health Ministry has not said whether the confirmed case was vaccinated.

Three of the seven suspected cases were fully vaccinated, the ministry said, and three had not returned from travel abroad recently. Around 57 per cent of Israel's 9.4 million population is fully vaccinated, according to the Health Ministry, meaning they have either received a third shot of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine or it has not yet been five months since they received their second dose.

Israel has recorded 1.3 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 8,000 fatalities since the pandemic began.Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Muhammad Qasim has been communicated in his divine dreams, events of the future for the last 30 years. Many of these events he has seen are coming true now, and have been accurate as per his dream. Why is he seeing these dreams? Is he Al-Mahdi?

PM: 'Omnicron is bad....I don't think, I know'!!!!

Smart we should do the same

In other words they don't want anyone that isn't Israeli from coming in because they think they're superior to everyone else.

I wonder how many retreads will say this is a bad thing... My over/under is 38!! When someone tries to protect their citizens from a potentially deadly disease, nutbars will scream 'My rights are being infringed!!' while forgetting OUR rights to live...!!!

when your scam turns around

Israel is a foreigner itself.

Smart

Plot twist, Israel ARE the foreigners

Way to go Israel Scotty take note and similar action NOW

It's Amazing how many experts are on here everyday.

Intelligent humans over there.

They are controling our lives... Our freedom.. We can't live in fear

Australia should do the same

They know it well than our ministers. It is true more than you believe.

Omicron was detected by SA scientists but Danish victim hasn't been to Africa. Israel reaction more sensible than Hunt's. 'Our working hypotheses are that the variant is already in nearly every country, and that the vaccine is effective, although we don't yet know to what degree'

I was OK with Corona and Delta, but Omicron sounds too much like the name of a kid’s transformer. Surely we could have gone with something simpler like Des or Harry…

1.

a) The virus strain is very infectious but less deadly like Delta,it's become a cold virus? OR b) It mutates to more infectious,very deadly killing millions more than Alpha with mental and economic depression,Armageddon! Depends if you are optimist or pessimist which to believe

Let's see how Dan Andrews gets the blame for this one!
