With vaccines in sight, Netanyahu and Gantz stress need for continued vigilance

At the start of the weekly Likud faction meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu says the coronavirus cabinet will meet later and make “correct, determined, non-populist decisions.” He warns that “with the end in sight, if we don’t act correctly, people will fall ill and die.”

He stresses the need to prevent crowding and to keep social distancing and hygiene measures is ongoing.

At his own Blue and White faction meeting, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said the country does not yet have “a vaccine campaign” and is on “a battle for human lives that will continue and not end soon.”
