Netanyahu again lashes out at MK who scaled back virus restrictions
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again appears to blame former Coronavirus Committee chair MK Yifat Shasha-Biton, a member of his Likud party, for the rise in infections.
“All those who derided the restrictions we imposed and watered them down or canceled them, should not come to us now with claims over the rising infections,” says Netanyahu in a Facebook post, which is linked to a video of Shasha-Biton.
The Likud lawmaker scaled back or canceled numerous restrictions approved by the cabinet, before a new parliamentary panel was tasked with reviewing the regulations.
Netanyahu and Shasha-Biton clashed on Monday over the coronavirus rules.
