Health minister lashes ‘irresponsible’ Liberman over call to breach virus rules
Health Minister Yuli Edelstein of the Likud party condemns Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman for urging Israelis not to heed the government’s virus rules.
“Liberman is playing with fire,” tweets Edelstein, charging that the opposition politician is acting “recklessly and irresponsibly and taking advantage of a fragile health and economic situation. Shame.”
Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin also lashes Liberman for his remark.
The call is “irresponsible,” says Levin, and will “create anarchy and endanger the health of all citizens of Israel. This is the opposite of serving as a public example and leadership.”
