Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"The decision of the International Court to open an investigation against Israel today for war crimes is absurd. It's undiluted antisemitism and the height of hypocrisy.
Without any jurisdiction, it decided that our brave soldiers, who take every precaution to avoid civilian casualties against the worst terrorists in the world who deliberately target civilians, it's our soldiers who are war criminals.
They said that when we build a house in our eternal capital of Jerusalem, it's been our capital for 3,000 years, that too is a war crime.
This court, that was established to prevent the repetition of the Nazi horrific crimes committed against the Jewish people, is now turning its guns against the one and only state of the Jewish people.
It's targeting Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. But of course it turns a blind eye to Iran, Syria and the other dictatorships that are committing real war crimes left and right.
We will never stop fighting this injustice. We will speak the truth in every forum, in every country, on every stage until this outrageous decision is reversed and becomes null and void.

Prime Minister Netanyahu: "I ask everyone who has not been vaccinated – go be vaccinated. You will have the Green Pass and you will also be able to benefit from it. It is your responsibility.
We are administering vaccines at a pace of around 30,000 a day for people over 50, where most of the morbidity and mortality are. In the coming 2 weeks, we intend to vaccinate over 95% of this age group. Go be vaccinated. Accept the Green Pass and start getting back to life.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Clalit Health Services vaccination facility in Tira:
"We brought millions of vaccines here, and we brought them to everyone: Jews and Arabs, religious and secular. Everyone can – and needs to – be vaccinated."

This will give us the possibility to reopen commerce, cafes & restaurants. Businesspeople will be able to fly to make deals in Dubai; we now have a peace agreement. We will be able to hold safe weddings. It is possible to emerge from this. Be vaccinated and get life back on track
This is what needs to be done.

I thank Clalit Healthcare Services and the other HMOs which are doing fantastic work. I brought the vaccines and you are giving them. The whole world is amazed at Israel. They are writing that Israel is a wonder. We will emerge from this together.

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.
