Netanyahu on quarantine-breaking aide: Suddenly everyone wakes up
The prime minister bristles at the harsh criticism directed at an aide of his who was accused of breaking quarantine after being spotted Sunday evening scoping out a protest against the premier in Jerusalem.
“Now, suddenly, everyone wakes up in the case of one man,” he said during a cabinet meeting.
“Everyone who breaks quarantine should pay a fine, but there mustn’t be selective enforcement. Jews, Arabs, left, right — I think everyone should follow the Health Ministry instructions and they should be kept and enforced equally.”
