Israel locked down mainly ultra-Orthodox Jewish areas of Jerusalem to try to contain the spread of the coronavirus from the densely populated neighborhoods where the infection rate is high
The entry and exit restrictions, enforced by police roadblocks, were imposed on the same day that a government order for the wearing of masks in public went into effect throughout the country.
Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox town of 200,000 near Tel Aviv, was declared a restricted zone on April 2 and police have limited access to the area. Bishara said he requested Israel transfer a minimum of 500 million shekels a month to the PA as part of tax revenues that Israeli authorities collect on behalf of the Palestinians.
