This paper considers Israel’s response to the challenges raised by the Covid-19 pandemic
with a specific focus on the invoked public policies and the related political, economic and legal
concerns. I first provide some background information. Then, I outline the keys for the initial
success in confronting the coronavirus pandemic. Three factors contributed to the initial Israeli
success, namely: the government’s swift and effective reaction to the pandemic; the close
cooperation and coordination between the organisations that were mobilised to counter the
pandemic, and the effective implementation of governmental policies. However, mistakes were
made during the second wave of the pandemic.
