Edelstein says Gantz ‘playing politics,’ not helping

Health Minister Yuli Edelstein is reportedly also fuming at Defense Minister Benny Gantz for having the gall to send out a statement from his ministry laying out his demand that they be given more responsibility to deal with the crisis.

“When I see statements about the need to transfer powers from the Health Ministry, in my book that’s not called lending a hand. That’s called politics at the expense of Israeli citizens,” he says, according to unsourced reports carried in the Hebrew language media.
