Yesh Atid MK: Government lacks legitimacy to reimpose lockdown, public doesn’t need to obey
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA lawmaker from the opposition Yesh Atid party says the government “doesn’t have the legitimacy” to impose a renewed lockdown and that if it does order one, Israelis don’t need to obey.
“This government violated the most basic contract with the public, the one that obliges it to protect us in a time of crisis,” MK Idan Roll writes on Twitter.
He charges government decisions to combat the virus “aren’t based on data” and are driven by political considerations.
“Therefore [the government] doesn’t have the legitimacy to order a full lockdown and the public doesn’t need to be obey,” Roll says.
