Netanyahu to Enter Precautionary Virus Quarantine
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will self-isolate on Monday after having come into contact with a coronavirus patient, his office said calling it a precautionary step.
Netanyahu tested negative for the virus on Sunday and on Monday, but he will still "enter isolation until Friday following contact with a confirmed coronavirus patient", the statement said.
Several Israeli media outlets have reported that Netanyahu met last week with a member of his right-wing Likud party, Michael Kleiner, who has subsequently tested positive for the virus.
The statement from the prime minister's office did not provide details regarding Netanyahu's potential exposure.
Netanyahu was at Israel's Ben Gurion airport last week to welcome a first shipment of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine.
He declared that the end of the pandemic was "in sight" and offered to take the first jab in a mass vaccination campaign due to start later this month.
Israel, a country of nine million people, has registered more than 358,000 coronavirus cases, including 3003 deaths.

Ahbal s.o.s zip it. You do not speak for lebanese of any kind. You are pathetic for blaming lebanons problem on hizb as if every other party and politician and banker and the rich are innocent law-abiding citizens who put lebanon and not their own pockets first. You call hizb terrorists but want peace with israel who has killed more civilians and caused by far more destruction since they arrived in Palestine and formed terror gangs that later became the IDF. Clearly terror is not your real problem you hypocrite. Ask the children who were burried under rubble after israeli planes bombed their schools, homes and hospitals what they think of israel. We sunnis will never be slaves to the zionazis despite how much fakes likes you would love to lick their blood stained boots. You are the token and not the average lebanese nor sunni.

Bigjohn and your friends - this is the perfect chance to prove that your biased thoughts are more important to you than your health.
If Lebanon doesn't want the vaccine, rest assured that there are many countries round the world which will accept the quantity that was originally earmarked for you.

you are the one who doesn't want peace. Many people in Lebanon have shown their true colours hoping for peace with Israel. Israel has shown its wanting peace by the agreements signed recently.
Only the stubborn minority in Lebanon are preventing peace coming to your country.
