Health Minister Ya’akov Litzman praises his director general Moshe Bar-Siman Tov, who announced earlier this afternoon that he was stepping down from the role.

“I was honored to work with the outgoing director general who managed the coronavirus crisis exceptionally,” Litzman says in a statement.

“Throughout the period, we were required to make tough decisions to lead the State of Israel to victory in the fight against the coronavirus. With God’s help, and thanks to his resourcefulness and professional standards shown by [Bar-Siman Tov], we have so far managed the crisis, and are hoping that our success will continue until we reach a full victory soon,” he adds.
