Netanyahu, Edelstein said pressuring Knesset committee not to reopen pools, gyms
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein are pressuring the head of the Knesset’s coronavirus committee not to reopen swimming pools and gyms, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The committee head, Likud MK Yifat Shasha-Biton, earlier said if the Health Ministry doesn’t provide data explaining why pools and gyms were closed last week, the decision will be reversed.
The pressure is aimed at delaying the committee decision, in order to give more time for talks over the matter.
