Netanyahu makes no mention of court ruling, thanks Deri for 2023 health ‘basket’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opens his weekly cabinet meeting, thanking Shas chair Aryeh Deri, who is currently health minister along with interior minister, for expanding the 2023 healthcare “basket.” But Netanyahu makes no mention of the High Court ruling disqualifying him from serving as minister.
Netanyahu also describes his meeting last week with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, listing Iran among the several security challenges discussed.
“I must say that there is a serious mutual desire to reach an understanding on this issue, which is of crucial importance to the security of the country. Discussions on the subject will take place in the coming weeks between Jerusalem and Washington,” the prime minister says.
