Horowitz, this is not the time: a health war is raging, and the minister is busy with other things
opinion
Shortly after the Minister of Health announced the "Outline for the Promotion of the Values of Equality, Acceptance and Tolerance in the Health System", the data reached a new record in morbidity in Corona.
It has nothing to do with the importance of the steps he has taken towards the trans community - the timing shows that Horowitz simply did not face the fact that he is leading the fight against the plague.

Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz arrived this morning (Tuesday) at Sheba Tel Hashomer Medical Center for a discussion "on the needs of the transgender community" which at the end stood in front of the cameras and announced an "outline for promoting the values of equality, acceptance and tolerance in the health system."
Shortly before, daily data were published that heralded a new record in morbidity as a result of the spread of the corona virus - 3,818 patients in just one day.
Now imagine a situation: the chief of staff is facing a military war waged by Israel against one of its enemies, people are killed and wounded in the line of fire every day, and he is taking advantage of the high media attention he receives to announce a new food reform in the IDF.
How much criticism would he absorb about it?
How many of us would sit in front of the screen and shout 'Is he crazy?
it's time?'.

That's exactly what Horowitz did.
One can put aside for a moment the essential debate on the question of the importance of the interests of the trans community in Israel.
But she's not the story either.
The timing at which Horowitz chose to hold this debate and statement shows one thing: the health minister has not really taken responsibility for dealing with the corona crisis and probably has not yet realized that he is leading the fight against the virus.
More puzzling is the fact that Horowitz's men made it clear to reporters in advance that he did not intend to answer their questions about the Corona issues.
What would have happened if MK Yaakov Litzman, the former Minister of Health, had convened a press conference during a peak of the outbreak of the plague to report a reduction in the prices of hats for the ultra-Orthodox? complete silence. Israel is at war health. the government together with the Minister Horovitz should conduct a relentless fight the epidemic deceptive claimed the lives of 6,492 civilians, and thousands of patients, some of which carry with them the scars of medical and economic months after applying.
to date is delayed in making significant decisions, character The news has slowly become sad, and its leaders have not proposed an operative plan to reduce or eradicate the disease. , The price we all pay is expensive, but it's not too late to recover.
