Health Minister Yuli Edelstein says other countries have been asking Israel to help them obtain coronavirus vaccines.
“Countries are contacting us and asking for Israel’s help in obtaining vaccines,” Edelstein tells Army Radio, and not “exotic countries you haven’t heard of either.”
He laments widespread health violations by Israelis who have traveled to Dubai, accusing them of flouting local regulations. Edelstein says the Emiratis, who recently forged diplomatic ties with Israel, are turning a blind eye so as not to cause a rift with Jerusalem.
The health minister also blasts Yisrael Beytenu MK Eli Avidar, who has announced he won’t get vaccinated.
