Yamina Chairman, MK Naftali Bennett, who heads the civilian coronavirus cabinet, said today (Thursday) at a press conference he convened that he is interested in helping in any way to improve the fight against coronavirus - but Netanyahu is ignoring him.
How did he manage to get a prestigious degree without preparatory school or prerequisites? The secret is inside
""If the prime minister wants me to be the projectionist of the coronavirus and he gives me the authority, I will take the position. I will remain in the opposition and not do it for honors. I will come and defeat the coronavirus in four weeks," Bennett declared. According to him, "If we harness the public to defeat the pandemic - it will come. We all want a good country to live in. But the current government has lost trust." Bennett said that the prime minister does not respond to his requests. "Despite my repeated requests to the prime minister that I am ready to enlist the opposition in anything, nothing happened. Netanyahu does not want to meet or hear, maybe he is threatened. We are in a war for our lives and in such cases we put our ego aside. I turn to Netanyahu: 'Take all the credit, but do you want to be prime minister? Do you want to defeat the pandemic? There are other people in the country who can help.'" He claims that it is now necessary to transfer powers and involve the Ministry of Defense in the fight. "I already said in March that an army was needed to manage the crisis." He criticized Netanyahu's grant program. "Mr. Prime Minister, people don't want charity, people want work. If we don't deal with Corona now, we won't get anywhere." Following the decision to impose a weekend lockdown, Bennett declared: The Corona Cabinet's decision to implement a widespread lockdown starting tomorrow morning is disconnected, illogical, and destructive. Because of this withdrawal, hundreds of hotel reservations for the upcoming weekend have been canceled in the last hour. Terrible damage, and unnecessary! The data shows us that two-thirds of infections occur in homes, within the family. And yet 95% of the patients are sent to their apartments! There are almost no infections on trips. There are almost no infections at sea. Very few infections in restaurants with a purple label. The government is in a panic, and is shooting in all directions, without any logic. Instead of agonizing over closing pools, the government must send patients to Corona hotels, increase testing, and train hundreds more contact tracers over the weekend. And next week another 5,000. Public trust is a precious resource, and it is being completely eroded. No one understands the logic, no one presents a plan, no structure for an "exit" from the lockdown. Nothing. The public feels like passengers on a bus heading towards a cliff, and the two drivers are bickering among themselves and not functioning. I call on Prime Minister Netanyahu to wake up. Immediately!
