Defense Minister Benny Gantz says his government will continue to work to get vaccines to the Palestinians, after a deal to transfer doses to the PA was rejected by Ramallah.
“We are committed to the health of our neighbors, and I’m sure a solution will be found to the satisfaction of both sides,” he says.
He says Israel will work hard to find more avenues for cooperation with the PA, with Egypt’s help.
He also issues a fresh threat against Hamas in Gaza.
“What was, will not be. Without [the return of] our boys and regional stability, Gaza will not be rehabilitated economically,” he says, referring to remains of soldiers and live civilians held captive by the terror group.
At another faction meeting, Health Minister Nitzan Horovitz tells his Meretz faction that despite the fact their coalition is not a “normal” one, it is functioning well so far.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
