Finance Minister Israel Katz had a “very harsh, perhaps unprecedented” outburst against the government’s coronavirus policy, according to Channel 12.

“I won’t allow millions to sink into despair and hunger because of the Health Ministry’s incorrect decision to close the economy without distinction and without any health justification,” he is quoted saying in a closed meeting.

“Instead of enforcement in the infectious areas, they’re closing workplaces that do not receive customers and where there is no contagion. It can’t be that 10 people are allowed to gather, but a business with 10 workers is banned from opening. No one accepts this.”
