Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured today (Tuesday) Beit Shemesh, one of the 40 red localities declared a restricted area.

As part of the decision of the Ministerial Committee for a Restricted Area, a night curfew is expected in some of the neighborhoods of Beit Shemesh.

Arguments have been made in the city regarding the effectiveness of the measures to curb the spread of the corona, and it has been argued that this will constitute an economic decree from which the residents will have difficulty recovering.



"I know we are going through difficult times, but we will get through it together if we act together," Netanyahu said, explaining that "the whole world is under attack from a second wave of illness."

He explained the curfew by saying that "today the young are infected. There may not be serious patients at the moment, but they are infecting the adults, and when the adults infect each other the morbidity and mortality will go up. Two things need to be added: wear and masks and avoid crowds.



At the same time, Netanyahu criticized "irresponsible politicians who call on the public not to follow the guidelines and not to follow the rules leading to anarchy and much more morbidity and death. I say this to all leaders and first of all to the citizens: the guidelines of the Ministry of Health must be maintained. In addition to all the different steps we are taking. "



He stressed two steps he seeks to promote: giving additional powers to mayors, and promoting flash tests.

"I gave two tasks: Today I heard Professor Gamzo say to transfer powers to mayors, hopefully it will happen within a week so you can make specific decisions about your cities. Yesterday I landed to continue to improve fragmentation and promote flash tests - tests in a very short time, not measured in days or In hours but in parts of an hour, in order to allow us to leave. And I am convinced that in the combination of these steps, and in the information I receive about progress towards vaccination, we will pass the corona, and successfully. Together we will win. There are many problems, questions and many more challenges. The guidelines. That's the only way to win the war. "

"The guidelines of the Ministry of Health must be observed. This is the only condition for success."

Netanyahu and Bloch in Beit Shemesh, today

The mayor of Beit Shemesh, Aliza Bloch, told Netanyahu during the tour that "the closure is not helpful, and should be lifted."

At the same time, she called for strengthening the powers of local government to deal with the plague.



Earlier, the municipality sharply criticized the move.

"Shutting down the school system along with closing neighborhoods and closing the entire city at night have serious economic and social consequences," wrote a statement from City Director Itamar Bartov. "On New Year's Eve, thousands of families, most of them children, will find themselves confined to their homes Limited ability to manage your journal routine.

Many businesses that succeed but barely recover from the enormous economic damage will suffer another fatal blow to the chances of rehabilitation. "



It was also written that previous closure attempts created a problem of distrust on the part of the residents of the neighborhoods towards the authorities." This created a complete lack of trust on the part of the residents. "Another closure would be a fatal blow to public trust, the vast majority of which adheres to the rules, easy as severe and finds itself repeatedly paying a price for a handful and disproportionate to the general policy across the country," Bartov added. Restrictions, increase enforcement in the city and establish a neighborhood corona coordinator unit.
