TEL AVIV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 06th August, 2020) The Israeli government has instructed relevant ministries and departments to develop a plan to resume air traffic from August 16, the government press service said in a statement.
"The government commission on coronavirus has instructed the health, transport, foreign ministers and the National Security Council, following consultations with the relevant ministries, to promote the plan to 'open the skies' from August 16, which will soon be submitted for approval by the cabinet," the statement said following a special government meeting on the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
