Smotrich: 'Bennett - a resounding failure' • Edelstein: 'In a state of complete panic''

January 2, 2022   

The Likud responded this evening (Sunday) to the press conference held by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on dealing with the Omicron strain. Did you divide? For thousands of years we dreamed of Jerusalem, so now we want to dirty it? On Saturday: The mother rested, the child pulled the trigger – and was hospitalized in serious condition Are you crazy? Is your child unprotected? One in every 150 children who contracted the virus was hospitalized ""Bennett has lost control of the pandemic. He is not managing the coronavirus, the coronavirus is managing him. Infecting a herd is not a strategy but an expression of giving up and a helpless hand that shifts all responsibility to the citizens." The Likud added: "We have reached this dismal situation because Bennett's confused and leadershipless government did not make any decisions to stop the pandemic in time," the party said. Former Health Minister, MK Yuli Edelstein, responded: "The testing systems are collapsing, chaos in the education system, confusing guidelines and a helpless government. Once again, the prime minister stands in front of the cameras at 8 p.m. and tries to calm down while in a state of complete panic. "It's simply too much for them. They know it, you know it - everyone knows: in every area - this is simply a disaster government." Religious Zionism sharply attacked Bennett after the press conference he held: "Naftali Bennett is a resounding failure. After endless zigzags, chaos and contradictions, Bennett is throwing up his hands in the face of the spread of the pandemic, removing his hands from responsibility for the safety and health of Israeli citizens and abandoning them to their fate. "The citizens of Israel deserve honest and professional leaders who know how to lead. Bennett, this is too much for you.".

You just wanted Bibi.
You got complete chaos.
And a caricature in the role of Prime Minister.
If you have a bit of integrity.
Apologize!

MK Simcha Rotman from Religious Zionism: "In short, after the government used the time well, the testing system, which is the only thing relevant to the new no-policy, collapsed in the first day. And this is even when the numbers are only a fraction of what awaits us. "The new book 'How a Pandemic Wins' was actually written these days." MK Kati Sheetrit from Likud: "What I understood from this very incomprehensible press conference - the government threw up its hands! Dear public, precisely in the absence of leadership in Israel, take yourselves in hand and go get vaccinated. "Take care of yourselves, because as it seems, there is no government that will do this for you.".
