Netanyahu: Wait for Health Ministry probe before passing judgment on Gamliel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is backing his minister under fire for allegedly breaking virus rules and trying to cover it up, amid calls for her to be fired.

Netanyahu says people should “wait before reaching conclusions until an investigation happening now at the Health Ministry is completed.”

“We should act according to statistics and tests and not according to initial reports and I suggest waiting, soon we will get a full picture,” he adds, according to a statement from his office.

Netanyahu also says that ministers, Knesset members and everyone else need to keep the rules.
