JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett entered quarantine yesterday after his daughter tested positive for Covid-19, reported Xinhua, quoting a spokesman for the prime minister’s office in a statement.

Bennett’s wife and other children tested negative, the statement added.

Israel’s ynetnews reported that Bennett left a special cabinet meeting held in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights in order to enter quarantine after his 14-year-old daughter tested positive.

Education Minister Yifat Shasha-Biton also entered quarantine yesterday after her daughter tested positive.

Bennett had entered quarantine on December 14 after a person on his flight back from a historic visit to the United Arab Emirates tested positive for Covid-19.
