Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held discussions earlier Tuesday about what measures to take during next week’s Memorial Day and Independence Day, though no decisions have yet been made, his office says.
Though most events for both days have been canceled or will be broadcast without audiences present, several issues are still being weighed, among them a possible national lockdown of the country for Independence Day to prevent mass celebrations; and potentially allowing families of fallen soldiers to visit cemeteries during Memorial Day in a reduced capacity to prevent crowding.
