After choosing opposition, Defense Minister Bennett launches fierce attack on Prime Minister • "Likud did not deal with judges until Netanyahu's investigations begin - hope he did not change his perception only because it concerns him" • On dealing with the Corona: "Should the economy open and prepare for an emergency that may happen in September"

  • Bennett goes on strike: "Netanyahu dismantles right bloc"

Attacks on attack: Kima day After announcing that they will not enter the government but sit in opposition, Defense Minister Yom Naftali Bennett attacks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today for his conduct in negotiations, claiming: "Netanyahu has dismantled the right bloc." 

At a press conference he convened in the afternoon, the defense minister said: "We were loyal to the right and not to a specific person. What Netanyahu did was dismantle the right ... The Likud chose to send the right and make us irrelevant and unaffected. If Netanyahu abandons the Justice Department to the left, we will be a fighting opposition. We will always present an alternative. We will show what needs to be done. If the PM applies sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and the localities, we will charge it. If not, we will be effective right. The right from which judges apply sovereignty. " 

Minister Bennett added: "My parents educated me to give and do what is right. Am I sorry in retrospect that we were part of the national bloc? No. Am I happy with the PM's decision to dismantle the national camp? No. But I agree with that. When you go the way you believe, you can't regret it. " 

Later, Bennett referred to the prime minister's legal situation and hinted at the possibility that the fight over the Justice Department was preventing personal interest in his investigations: "The Likud did not engage the judges until Netanyahu's investigations began. I want to believe that he didn't change his perception just because it concerns him ... I want to believe that Netanyahu will not only take care of his personal legal needs but will make a profound change. But the first signs are not good because he is not fighting for the justice case. " 

"Establish a National Corona Testing System" 

During the press conference, Bennett also addressed the Corona crisis, saying: "The main government's current mission is to set up a 140-day emergency pandemic. The current wave of corona behind us, we only see a decline. It's mainly related to the outside heat, temperature, and components Others in Israel. "   

"I know there are those who like to compare ourselves to the worst countries, such as Belgium, with a mature population and cold weather. In Israel warm and the young population, we have to compare to similar countries. We started the right actions here at the outset. Can we be prepared in a way that we do not have to shut down the economy in the State of Israel? "

Bennett added: "A national system for investigative and isolation checks should be established and the Corona won without harming the economy and education. Israeli citizens can be kept healthy and the economy maintained. There are health funds throughout the country. Unsurprised. If any family doctor can routinely refer people for a corona test. Once there are 15-20 carriers in a particular city, we will receive an alarm and we can handle it. "
