Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein arrived at the Corona vaccine complex in Umm al-Fahm on Friday to meet with the country’s millionth vaccinated person.
But this morning (Sunday) it was reported here on Monday that the same vaccinator is Muhammad ‘Abd al-Wahab Jabarin – a 66-year-old man who was previously convicted of murdering two people and running a prison sentence about twenty years ago.
It was further reported that officials in Umm al-Fahm were surprised by the choice of Jabarin as the representative figure, and also estimated that on behalf of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health they knew nothing about his criminal past.
MK Zvi Hauser (New Hope) attacked Netanyahu against the background of the publication: “Gig – this is the story of this leadership. “So in the ‘million-strong’ race, so in the fight against violence, so in the management of the economic crisis, so in almost everything.”
Jabrin himself appeared on the program of Yinon Magal and Ben Caspit on 103FM and responded to the allegations.
Did you and Bibi talk?
“I went to get vaccinated, the director of the HMO tells me that you are the one who gets vaccinated a million, I thought he was telling me that I was making a million, and he told me that Netanyahu would come now. I went to get vaccinated like any resident of Israel. Bag. Suddenly the Prime Minister greets me, it was exciting. It’s not nice to say these things, the truth is I was offended. “
Is it good that he came to Umm al-Kahm?
“Sure, but the truth is I was disappointed. My head hurts, I was very disappointed.”
What were you sitting on? When did you get out of jail?
“Many years ago, I retired from 1992. I sat for almost 21 years.”
I apologize, want to hurt Netanyahu.
“Why hurt me because of Netanyahu. I’m an honest person, it was 30 years ago. It’s good that he came to Umm al – Fahm. But not nice what they did to me this morning, I sat 21 years ago. No I did this meeting with Netanyahu. An older man came Congratulate me. “
Jabarin expressed severe disappointment at the reactions: “I am very disappointed, I was offended. Everyone now says I am a murderer and a criminal, but I threw away my past 30 years ago. Today I am old. Everyone is digging and looking for things from the ‘cemetery’. You can enter Netanyahu, But not my way. “
“I went to get vaccinated, the director of the HMO tells me that you are the one who gets vaccinated a million, I thought he was telling me that I was making a million, and he told me that Netanyahu would come now. I went to get vaccinated like any resident of Israel. Bag. Suddenly the Prime Minister greets me, it was exciting. It’s not nice to say these things, the truth is I was offended. “
Netanyahu said during the million vaccination class: “It is a great excitement, we are breaking all records, we have brought millions of vaccines to Israel, we have advanced the whole world and now we are ahead of them with our excellent HMOs, we are moving forward at tremendous speed to vaccinate the entire population. It seems to me that even the Arab public will be vaccinated quickly, because that is saving lives. “
