Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu And the Minister of Health July Edelstein Tonight (Thursday) they visited the Maccabi Health Fund in the city of Ramla and met with the 2 million vaccinated for Corona – Marguerite Alsuso, a 22-year-old kindergarten assistant.
During his visit, Netanyahu said, “There is no doubt that we will see the light at the end of the tunnel. If everyone is careful to get vaccinated and abide by the rules, we will be the first country in the world to come out of it. We are talking about closures into March and April. , we are on our way”.
“Every hour or two I get a call from the leaders of countries around the world and they ask for help with our assistance and as much as we can we will help others, including our neighbors,” Netanyahu added.
Health Minister Edelstein said: “We continue to lead the world, in this amazing operation, thanks to the introduction of vaccines and the activity of the HMOs. 2 million, a completely real number, and already tens of thousands are after the second vaccination, ie with almost complete protection from the virus. “Go get vaccinated.”
In response to a question about the priority committee for the Corona vaccines, he said: “Next week, vaccines will be transferred to the IPS. We adhere to all Priority Committee guidelines both when we like it and when we do not like it. I’m not going to check which vaccine goes to the jailer and which to the prisoner. Instead of conducting this argument think about whether there is a prisoner who will not be vaccinated and after that we will waste on him a medical staff, an Acme machine, a soul machine. That fact must be taken into account. “

As you may recall, yesterday Netanyahu visited a health fund in the city of Nazareth, and asked to open a “new era” with the Arab citizens in the country, in parallel with demonstrations held against him protesting in the city. “This is an opportunity to begin a new era in relations between us and the Arab citizens of the State of Israel, an era of respect and equality, personal respect, opportunities and power,” Netanyahu said during the visit. “Whoever says we remembered the Arabs only because of the election or he is lying or he does not know the facts. If Jews and Arabs can dance together in the streets of Dubai, they can dance together in the State of Israel as well. A new era begins today – of prosperity, integration and security.”
