The Cabinet, this morning participated in the "Turning Point 6" national earthquake preparedness drill. At 11:00, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the other ministers left the Cabinet room and exited the building.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "Ministers are, first of all, Israeli citizens and like everyone, we are taking part in the drill. No other government has invested as much in home front defense and we still have many plans and much work yet before us. I want Israeli citizens to be protected. The main point that we would like to make clear to Israeli citizens via this drill and other steps is that in a missile attack we want people to run inside their homes and in an earthquake we want people to run outside their homes."
