Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political advisor who participated in the delegation to the White House, Reuven Ezer, violated quarantine while at a supermarket in Mevaseret Zion on Friday at 11:35 a.m., eyewitnesses reported.
Last week, it was reported that Ezer also violated the capsule outline of the Israeli delegation to Washington when he went for a run, and he was even reprimanded for it.
According to the outline formulated for the benefit of the delegation, Ezer was supposed to be in isolation until today or until receiving a negative result from a coronavirus test.

The Prime Minister's Office said that "an inquiry was held with Ezer." It was also noted that the Health Ministry's announcement about changing the quarantine rules and moving to isolation only arrived late Thursday night, and Ezer "was not updated and regrets it.".
According to the announcement, he was "called to order by his superiors so that such incidents do not happen again.".
Topaz Locke, the prime minister's advisor, was also at the demonstration near the prime minister's house in Balfour after taking the coronavirus test - according to photos and videos of protesters last night.
The consultant was in the protest area around 10:30 PM, holding a camera.
According to testimonies from some of the protesters, Locke sought to document them without masks or violating the Ministry of Health's guidelines. According to a report in Kan News, Locke performed the coronavirus test, which was required of every member of the delegation to Washington, yesterday around 9:30 PM.
The Likud response claimed that Locke arrived in Jerusalem, where he does not live, to take the coronavirus test, "and then returned home.".
But the photographic data shows that Luke remained in Jerusalem even after the coronavirus test, and in fact arrived at the protest area after the test - and contrary to the Ministry of Health guidelines, according to them he is supposed to remain in isolation.
