Likud MK comes to defense of coronavirus panel head as party moves to replace her
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLikud MK Gideon Sa’ar issues a statement coming to the defense of the Knesset’s coronavirus commitee chairwoman Yifat Shasha-Biton, who their party has moved to replace after her panel voted to approve the reopening of gyms and pools against the will of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Regardless of the content of the decisions made today by the Coronavirus Committee: 1. The Knesset is not a rubber stamp for the government. 2. It is more correct to convince the Knesset committee by means of data rather than threats and pressure. 3. The removal of the chairwoman of the committee is not the right thing to do,” Sa’ar says in a statement.
