PM Netanyahu:
"First, I would like to commend Herzl and Fadila Levy, who are the 500,000th people to be vaccinated. It warms the heart to see the citizens of Israel joining in to help citizens of Israel, especially the elderly, emerge from great darkness into great light.
We have worked to bring millions of vaccines to the State of Israel via the Minister of Health and the Health Ministry, the hospitals and the HMOs, all of which joined in the huge vaccines operation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"We are starting the week with gigantic news.
I spoke over the weekend with the heads of the companies that are providing us with the vaccines and I told them that our goal by next weekend is to reach 150,000 vaccines a day.
This is fantastic but such a magnitude is a world record. I asked them to match the rate at which the vaccines are supplied to the pace of the inoculations and they said that they think they can do it.
This means that within 30 days of reaching this pace we will have vaccinated 4.5 million citizens. Since everyone needs two injections, after one month we will have vaccinated 2.25 million Israeli citizens. There is nothing like this in the world.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "I wish Israel's many Christian friends around the world a very merry #Christmas. On behalf of the people of Israel, I thank each and every one of you for your prayers and for your support.
This #Christmas, the traditional greeting of 'Peace on Earth' - will once again be expressed by millions across the globe.

This while our world suffers from the terrible Covid-19 pandemic, and from far too much violence and conflict.
But remarkably, here in the Middle East, we have been actively making progress in realizing the biblical prophecy of 'Peace on Earth', or at least this part of the earth.

PM Netanyahu: We're making progress in giving vaccines to the citizens of Israel at a very rapid pace. We're leading the world in the pace of giving vaccines & since we've brought millions of vaccines we'll be able to continue to lead & this is an extraordinary achievement
Third wave of the pandemic is striking the world with unprecedented strength. Many thousands in Europe & the US are dying on a daily basis. It could be that some of this is connected to the new mutation, or the onset of winter or both
