Gamliel apologizes, says she may have made error in judgment
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMinister Gila Gamliel has released a statement in which she admits to making some mistakes, after being accused of breaking virus rules and trying to cover it up.
Gamliel, who tested positive on Saturday, does not admit to doing anything wrong in traveling to Tiberias and praying inside a synagogue on Yom Kippur, but allows she may not have handled the situation correctly.
“I acted in line with guidelines, though it is possible I erred in my judgment. I am sorry, I will pay the fine,” she says in a statement carried in Hebrew-language media
Gamliel has faced calls for her firing since the affair broke earlier Monday.
