Tiff erupts over school-based infections, and turkey for some reason

Health Ministry Deputy Director Itamar Grotto is getting into it with Education Minister Yoav Gallant at the coronavirus cabinet meeting, according to several reports.

“All the experts say that the outbreak was due to schools. So you keeping on saying that there’s no link between infections and the opening of schools won’t make it true,” Grotto tells Galant.

Gallant shoots back that “I’ve never seen a turkey that wants Thanksgiving to come closer,” which maybe means that Grotto should be more flexible, and quit seeing the resumption of school like a turkey sees Turkey Day.

Or maybe not.

“Anybody who can figure out what Gallant wants with the turkey wins a shirt and cassette,” jokes reporter Barak Ravid on Twitter.
