JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Asked about the catastrophic economic repercussions of the coronavirus, Netanyahu replied that “with G-d’s help (we will overcome)” but the interviewer, Channel 12 anchor Dana Weiss, interjected “rather, with the help of the Weizmann Institute.” Netanyahu replied “we need both, even in Weizmann Institute they are praying.”
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri responded sharply to Weiss’s remark, stating on his Twitter account that “it is shocking that in the Jewish state, Dana Weiss interrupts the prime minister of Israel in such a snide and contemptuous manner. This in addition to Weiss’s claim that an anonymous “government official” said the Chareidim are causing an increase in corona infection. Weiss should be roundly condemned for her words.”
