Netanyahu: Chief task now in coronavirus fight is economic comeback

Netanyahu, at the cabinet meeting, says the new government will “continue to face the danger of the coronavirus,” albeit adding that “the task we are currently dealing with is the economic task.”

“First and foremost, we want to work together to get people back to work. I discussed this with the finance minister several times last week,” he says. “I instructed him to increase the budget of the economic plan to NIS 100 billion.”

Without expanding, Netanyahu promises to “introduce programs that will bring jobs.”
