Defense Minister Naftali Bennett has presented his plan for opening most of Israel's economy and educational system on Sunday. "Why wait?" Bennett asked at a news conference. "We are talking about people's livelihood, for goodness' sake."
Asked about financial assistance to citizens and businesses, Bennett said: "We must provide economic support. There is no substitute for job creation. It's not only that new jobs are not being created at the present moment but jobs are being destroyed."
