Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's remarks, today, at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting:
gov.il/en/departments…
We're leading a clear strategy: Slowing it down & maintaining our routine. We have 1 eye on the public health & slowing the virus and one eye on the economy and our daily routine, with consideration, responsibility, transparency, dialogue with the public and mainly – calm & quiet
This morning, I am pleased to announce, that following a series of calls with Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla, last night we closed a deal to bring forward the next shipment of vaccines, to 1 August.
Together with existing stocks, this ensures – from this moment – a continuous inventory of vaccines in the State of Israel.
I would like to emphasize: There are vaccines for everyone!
We also have first doses in stock, and the second dose will arrive, as noted at the beginning of August. Therefore, whoever has not been vaccinated, mainly young people but older people as well, go out today and get vaccinated! Go out today and get vaccinated.
At today's Cabinet meeting, we will approve the evaluation of a vaccines plant in Israel, in order to produce for ourselves locally made vaccines, without being dependent on others, in the context of both the coronavirus and future pandemics.
Regarding Lebanon, Lebanon is on the verge of collapse, like all countries that Iran takes over, and this time, the citizens of Lebanon are paying the price. It must be understood that the citizens of Lebanon are paying a heavy price because of the Iranian takeover of the country

Prime Minister Bennett:

In order to boost the cooperation with the public, as well as the confidence of the public, the Cabinet has decided to enable persons in quarantine to be tested on the seventh day of their quarantine, wait for a negative result and thereupon be released.
However, we will also increase enforcement for violations. People who leave quarantine without being tested will be fined NIS 5,000. The goal of this move is to increase the number of people who accede to quarantine.

"It is our responsibility to maintain the safety of the State of Israel, to guarantee its existence. On this, there are no, and will be no, compromises.
Each and every Israeli prime minister, from Ben Gurion, through Begin, until today, has had one sacred duty as a guide: We will not allow an existential threat to loom over the State of Israel.
The years go by and our adversaries change and advance.
Then it was Iraq, today, Iran. The level of sophistication and determination of our enemies has increased.
