Hundreds of doctors came today (Sunday) to demonstrate in front of the Ministry of Health in Jerusalem in protest of the "collapse" of public hospitals.
Some of the protesters blocked the entrance to Jerusalem, which was later reopened to traffic.
The demonstrators attacked Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz and said that the cooperation "the drip and starvation method - shameful and disgraceful to the health system at the height of the corona crisis."
They added that "the conduct of the Ministry of Health is the most dangerous variant. The hospitals are in danger of death, it is an acute omission of the Ministry of Health that impairs the functioning of the hospitals."
They announced that the protest would continue indefinitely.
Senior officials at public hospitals harshly criticized Horowitz, saying that "there has never been a health minister who attacks hospitals. If we continue to fight the Ministry of Health through the media, Horowitz will not continue to be health minister."
