JNS.org – Israeli trains will not resume operations on Monday as previously planned, due to the new wave of coronavirus infections.
The Cabinet is going to meet on Monday to decide on a new date for the trains to start running, according to Ynet.
Transportation Minister Miri Regev and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein had planned to restart the trains on Monday, after three previous delays, but were overruled by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu due to a fresh outbreak of COVID-19 cases.
