Bennett calls for ‘immediate and calculated’ reopening of economy, schools
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Naftali Bennett calls for the “immediate and calculated” reopening of Israel’s economy and education system, while slamming the Health Ministry’s more conservative approach to easing restrictions as “destructive.”
“One million Israeli citizens have lost their jobs in the past month. Many more will follow them,” Bennett laments in a press conference.
“The continuation of Health Ministry closure policy is destructive for the future of the State of Israel,” the minister adds. “There is another way: responsible but determined.”
