Netanyahu condemns alleged ‘wild incitement’ against ultra-Orthodox
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Netanyahu condemns what he calls “wild incitement” against Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Netanyahu says the Haredi public has “internalized” the danger of the virus and the Health Ministry restrictions meant to curb its spread.
“The coronavirus epidemic doesn’t differentiate between ultra-Orthodox and secular, between Arabs and Jews. We don’t either. This war is all of ours,” he says in a statement.
The statement doesn’t name the source of this alleged incitement but it appears aimed at Rina Matzliah, a Channel 12 news presenter who has come under fire for her criticism of the community during a live broadcast Friday.
