Movie director and sometime Tel Aviv resident Quentin Tarantino said on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night that he was happy to have waited out the pandemic in Israel. Agreeing with Kimmel that Israel had handled the COVID crisis well, he said, “Well look, I would rather not have been out of my own country against my will for a year.
