Prime Minister Naftali Bennett accompanies his mother as she receives a coronavirus booster shot.
“I want to be with him for Rosh Hashanah and at the wedding of my grandson in October. I don’t want another lockdown,” Myrna Bennett says.
The premier, who at 49 is too young to get a third vaccine dose, reiterates his call for Israelis to get immunized.
“All that’s needed and all I ask of everyone — from kids, grandkids, dads and moms — go get vaccinated,” he says.
