Sources in the party accuse the senior minister that instead of engaging in the economic issue, he is drawn into a meaningless quarrel with the prime minister • "Dragged into an argument, instead of talking about economics"
Disputes in blue and white:
A party official, who was updated on the contents of the Corona cabinet meeting held today (Wednesday), criticized the justice minister and said that Nissenkorn was dragged into an idle debate with the prime minister on the issue of closure, instead of dealing with issues.
According to the source in blue and white, engaging in demonstrations helps Netanyahu and allows him to divert attention from the state's real problems, chief among them the consequences of the closure on the business sector.
"After the prime minister raised the demand to limit the exit from houses to 200 meters, Nissenkorn was dragged into an argument, instead of talking about economics."
Blue and white officials added that the party's consistent line is adhering to the recommendations of professionals.
"We appreciate Dr. Steinitz's position, but he is not a professional.
The professionals are the ones who last week recommended capsules of 20 people and a distance limit of km. This was agreed last week and this is the position. Instead of reopening this discussion, one should talk about questions such as why not prepare the 2021 budget, million unemployed and non-reinforcement Of the health care system. "
Earlier tonight, after a stormy cabinet meeting that lasted about four hours, during which Prime Minister Netanyahu demanded that the closure be tightened and the distance from the house to 200 meters, officials in blue and white claim that Netanyahu wants to reduce the distance to the house to prevent demonstrations. "We need to maintain stability. We will oppose changes in the closure guidelines."

Among those who support the Prime Minister's proposal to reduce the range of leaving the house is Minister Steinitz, who was present in the Corona Cabinet and said: "In the March-April closure, there were restrictions on leaving the house by 100 meters.
I recommend that we now impose an exit distance limit of between 200 and 500 meters, no more.
"1,000 meters is not an effective distance, because it allows passage between cities and crowds in attractive locations."
