From Finance minister berates Blue and White for hinging protest ban on full lockdown
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFinance Minister Israel Katz lashes Blue and White for insisting protests can only be banned if the country is placed under total lockdown.
Katz “views with severity the fact that Blue and White is conditioning the cancellation of the protests on the total closure of the private sector,” his office says in a statement, referring to demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Millions of workers, and Israel’s economy, cannot be hostage to the political agenda of Blue and White, which is entirely contrary to public interests,” he adds.
The statement comes as talks in the coronavirus cabinet on new virus regulations continue.
