the country, including foreign workers. Questions regarding how to supply
gas masks to non-citizens are being examined. Under consideration is the
possibility that employers of foreign workers must supply them with gas
masks. In addition, ways to supply gas masks directly to other foreign
workers residing in Israel are being examined. The legal opinion regarding
the implementation of the decision, including costs, have been presented
