PM Netanyahu addressed the growing infection rate in Israel during the Likud party's faction meeting today.Netanyahu said that Ince morbidity in the country decreases, the state will be able to open the coming school year.

Twenty-four fire and rescue teams from the Jerusalem, Dan and Central districts, as well as forces from the special unit of the Israel Fire and Rescue Unit, Lehava, are working to control the raging fire near the Ein Kerem neighborhood of Jerusalem.At this stage there is no immediate danger to additional buildings and houses in the neighborhood.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the opening of the Corona Cabinet that the level of infection in Israel is among the highest in the world."This is the bad news. The good news is that for the last two weeks or so, we're at a 'plateau.'""The two additional figures - the net number of seriously ill, is increasing slowly, not in a way that challenges the system, and we hear this from health officials participating in the discussion. The second thing, is that the number of fatalities is increasing. In the past week the number was 68 and it is increasing, and it could increase to large numbers."

The Yesha Council welcomed the publication of the State Comptroller's report, which reveals a long list of failures in the activities of the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria."For many years we have been trying to provoke discussion about the many problems involved in having a military body set up for completely different purposes, now managing the daily lives of Israeli residents in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley. This creates many gaps and discrimination against Israelis living in the area in government services," they said.They added, "The report raises serious issues in the work of the administration, and presents the difficulties facing the authorities and residents of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley, in providing services and addressing the challenges of the region. A fundamental change of situation and a radical correction of the matter is required by applying the full Israeli law throughout Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley."

Netanyahu laments high infection rate in Israel - but adds that rate has remained stable in recent weeks, ending the surge seen in July.
