Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman tells ministers that he does not support new coronavirus restrictions on gatherings.
“I don’t think this is the time to take steps like limiting gatherings,” Liberman says. “It puts us into a world of giving compensation” to owners of event halls, concert venues and other businesses that would be harmed by such measures.
“Just like we live with the flu, we have to live with the Omicron.”
