TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel’s prime minister has tested positive for the coronavirus and is working from home after he held a series of meetings, including with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Naftali Bennett’s office said that he tested positive on Monday and was feeling well. He faced a busy day, with a briefing on an attack late Sunday that left two border police officers dead and wounded four others. The government said the shooters were supporters of the militant Islamic State group, and IS has claimed responsibility. It was the second deadly attack in an Israeli city in less than a week, ahead of the volatile period leading up to Ramadan.
