Israel's national lottery announced on Wednesday that it would terminate employees who refuse to be vaccinated for COVID-19. It is the first employer to announce such a decision.
The chairman of Mifal HaPayis, a government owned public sector company, informed his staff on Tuesday of the move. "Health is paramount," Avigdor Yitzhaki apparently told the staff.
