Israel is now requiring anyone over the age of three to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test before entering many indoor spaces, as it tackles a sharp rise in infections.
Restaurants, cafes, museums, libraries, gyms and pools are among the venues covered by the "Green Pass" system.
However, proof of immunity is not needed to go into shops or malls.
The country's Covid-19 tsar said it was "at war" with the virus despite its world-leading vaccination programme.
"Our morbidity is rising day by day," Salman Zarka told a parliamentary committee on Wednesday, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The next two weeks leading up to the Jewish New Year festival of Rosh Hashanah on 6 September would be "critical", he warned.

MAJ (Join to see) Maybe if the government spent half the effort on keeping people healthy and fit that they are spending on “fighting disease” that wouldn’t be such an issue.

MAJ (Join to see) - I believe we as a country are handing to many benefits, lack of discipline, respect and patriotism. Mandatory draft does not have to involve the military. Many vocations could be included in that umbrella.

LTC Vincent Moore - If a human wants to be fit fit and healthy; they oftentimes can. With our libraries, internet, medical personnel etc.; that info is available. Physical fitness to a minor extent is required in the armed forces. However, in most services it is not enforced in it's entirety.

Sadly I think entitlement mentality is hard to break and even if you required some sort of government service in this country the same folks who do nothing and collect those benefits would just see the gravy train the government would give them in compensation and pension benefits and they’d game that system after shirking their government obligated service.
