Yaakov Rivlin, the political commentator for the newspaper 'Bakhilah', deviated from his custom this evening (Saturday night) - and heaped praise on the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health, two people who routinely receive barbs of stinging criticism from him.
""I usually don't like receiving negative answers," tweeted Rivlin, a resident of the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem. "But to receive one like this from the Ministry of Health is fun.".
He said: "I was tested after the 'Magen' app detected that I was at the neighborhood supermarket while a confirmed patient was there.
""I would like to salute two people who, in a matter of weeks, built the best system in the world here from nothing: Netanyahu and Litzman.
""After the notification from the app, I entered the MDA call center and was questioned by a computerized response. Within a minute, I received a referral for testing at the 'drive-in' complex, and an hour later I left after completing the test.
""I'm not one of Netanyahu's biggest followers, and Litzman isn't my cup of tea either, but when the time comes, the time comes.".
