Netanyahu to meet renegade Likud MK who reversed virus rules
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTalks are underway within the ruling Likud party to avoid the ouster of a party lawmaker from the panel overseeing coronavirus restrictions, after she clashed with the government and reversed cabinet-approved lockdown measures.
According to the Ynet news site, coalition whip Miki Zohar is brokering a compromise.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet Likud MK Yifat Shasha-Biton tomorrow on the issue, it says.
“There is a time for war and a time for peace,” Zohar, the coalition whip, is quoted saying. “It is correct that I am trying to find a compromise between MK Shasha-Biton and the prime minister. Obviously, this is better than removing her.”
