PM Netanyahu: ‘We have accomplished a great achievement’
Addressing the nation in his first televised address in weeks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel has succeeded in preventing the spread of the coronavirus outbreak where other countries have not.
“We have accomplished a great achievement,” he says.
According to the prime minister, Israel’s low infection and death rates are due to the early steps the government took to enforce social distancing, the “great dedication” of health workers, and the “compliance” of the public in following the rules.
