“Together, God willing, we will get through this complex period,” Smotrich said in a statement. “I urge the citizens of Israel to adhere to the Health Ministry guidelines and wish them all a refuah sheleyma (complete recovery). I will continue to work remotely from home and will support the government and ministry efforts in that manner.

“Have a good week.”
