Netanyahu continues to speak about the virus, saying the death rate in Israel from the virus is lower than other countries.
He says that without Israel’s “difficult” and “not populist” decisions, thousands more would be dead.
“These are dramatic days, also because we are facing serious security challenges,” he continues.
Israel’s enemies “are constantly trying to hurt us. And I repeat: Those who try to hurt us, we will hurt them.”
He also discusses the normalization deals with Arab states and says he hopes other countries will join.
“In dramatic days like these, we don’t need to go to elections,” he stresses.
