Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the end of the Corona Cabinet: "I reported today in the Corona Cabinet that I spoke again last night with Pfizer CEO Albert Borla.
Together with the legal advisers of both parties, we removed the last obstacle to signing a contract with Pfizer and Israel, for the supply of vaccines to Israel.
We will get these vaccines like the leading countries in the world.
It will start in January, it will grow from month to month.
And we are working, and I am working, to bring vaccines from other sources as well.
the more the better.
But it should be understood that since it will take time all over the world - we need to keep the rules.
I insist that the exit from the restrictions be done in a gradual and responsible manner.
I want to open up the economy, the trade and all the other things - no less than others, but we must do it responsibly, because otherwise we will just go back to where we were.
We are in a very good place today, many countries would like to exchange with us - both in vaccines and on a regular basis.
Because our level of morbidity is lower than in Europe and we need to keep it there.
That is why the opening will be done in this way - when we open something we subtract something, in order to reduce the risk of illness.
I asked today that I be offered an orderly plan of expanding the red cities in such a way that it would allow us to open up the rest of the country, and we are exploring other options as well.
We will do it responsibly to maintain the life and health of you, the citizens of Israel, and also to enable the economy and education.
With God's help we will succeed.
I would like to thank Roni Gamzo for the dedicated service he has rendered to the State of Israel, in difficult times, and I would also like to wish his successor Nachman Ash success in his job, a difficult job. "
