Organization tasked with bringing Jews abroad to visit Israel says it expects restrictions to 'be temporary'

Birthright canceled the remaining 42 trips it had planned for the summer due to Israeli regulations on arrivals from the US, according to Haaretz Monday.

A spokesman told Haaretz that Birthright expects the seven-day quarantine regulation on the US and others to “be temporary.”

This comes as the coronavirus infections in Israel continue to rise, with more than 6,200 new cases reported on Tuesday.
