PM says he’s in talks with Pfizer and Moderna to build facilities in Israel
As the Channel 12 interview comes to a close, Netanyahu announces that he is negotiating with Pfizer and Moderna for additional tens of millions of vaccines in the years ahead.
He adds: “I’m negotiating with them to build two factories in Israel — making us a world center for the struggle against COVID.”
The Moderna facility will be a filling center for vaccine vials, he indicates.
The Pfizer facility will be for R&D for the battle against future viruses.
