The government is expected to approve on Sunday an extension of the special home-front emergency status through August 11, according to a report. The move is attributed to ongoing security uncertainty vis-à-vis Iran. The government has renewed the emergency status multiple times since June, with previous extensions to June 30, July 14, and July 28. The special status grants the Home Front Command enhanced civil-defense authority, including the power to impose restrictions on gatherings and movement. The latest extension comes amid heightened tensions with Iran, as the US and Iran continue nuclear negotiations. The cabinet is expected to vote on the extension tomorrow.
