Former Minister Haim Ramon accuses Naftali Bennett of deficient handling of the coronavirus - and claims that the media is guilty of attacking Benjamin Netanyahu without control.
This morning: The old 'green card' expires – and the lives of millions of unvaccinated people will change
""Bennett built an Israeli model, he is proud of it, but he has degraded the State of Israel," Ramon said in an interview with 103FM. "In June, we were at the top of the fight against Corona in all indicators, confirmed, dead, seriously ill and vaccinated, to the bottom. The blood of the dead is on Bennett's hands." He continued his remarks by calling on Bennett to resign from his position. "A decent person, who as a result of adopting a very wrong model, in contrast to all European countries, if he caused the deaths of hundreds, should draw conclusions. In Europe, when we were in 27th place in June in terms of the number of deaths, today we are in ninth place. In Europe, they stopped the pandemic through restrictions and did not close down anywhere." Ramon wonders why the media does not criticize Bennett as it criticized the previous prime minister. "It's good that Netanyahu was replaced, but we need to return to normality, and normality is for the media to say both what is good about the Bennett government and what its shortcomings are. The chance that Netanyahu will return is very slim, and we need to return to normality.".
