Bnei Brak deputy mayor: Lockdown ‘utterly failed’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBnei Brak’s deputy mayor, Gedalyahu Ben Shimon, lambastes the apparent cabinet decision to ease some restrictions on the city, but not all, by saying the lockdown had “utterly failed” and claiming the re-installation of checkpoints was “only to appease anti-Haredi elements.”
“We call on the ministers not to give in to cheap populism but carry out real steps to evacuate the sick from the city,” he says in a statement. “That is the only efficient solution at this time.”
