The coronavirus panic has shaken up Israel

What the suicide bus bombings of the Second Intifada could not do in five years, what tens of thousands of rockets from Gaza failed to do in a decade, what the US killing of Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani couldn’t do in January, the novel coronavirus has managed to do in less than a week: fundamentally disrupt Israel’s daily life.


Flights canceled, international conferences postponed, annual Purim parades scratched, sporting events held without spectators, tens of thousands of people holed up in their homes – welcome to Israel, circa March 2020.
