Jerusalem, April 17 (SocialNews.XYZ) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a "cautious and gradual" plan to resume business activity and ease closure restrictions amid COVID-19.
The plan is based on principles suggested by Israel's National Security Council (NSC), according to a statement released by Israel's Prime Minister's Office on Thursday, Xinhua reported.
