Bennett of a year ago says the exact opposite of what he does today | Israel today

About a year ago, Naftali Bennett, then in opposition, attacked the intention to abolish child isolation.

"In this situation it's just madness, it's irresponsible, it does not make sense. Imagine that only one percent of infected children will develop symptoms or long-term problems. Suppose we are talking about a million infected, we are talking in this situation about ten thousand children who can carry lifelong damage."

Today, a year later when he is prime minister, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has announced that children aged 0 to 18 will be exempt from isolation if they have been with a positive person to Corona, starting the next day (Thursday). 

Instead, everyone will be required to check themselves twice a week, and put themselves in isolation in case of a positive result for the virus.

In fact, this is an outline that is in the nature of "trusting the citizens." 

Bennett said in a statement last weekend: "In recent weeks almost all parents experience a large number of infected and the number of isolated also among the isolated. I am attentive to distress, but careful about everything related to children's health. "We continue to make sure we are on the safe ground. There are thorough discussions with the education system and with a number of children's hospital directors in order to get them back to school safely. Tonight there is a line - Israeli children return to study continuously next Thursday."  

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
