Prime Minister Netanyahu is currently meeting with representatives of self-employed and small business owners, via video link.
In his opening words, the Prime Minister said, "I think that we have done a lot better than many other countries, and the results show this. But there are still some things that we can learn from other countries.
"The self-employed are very important for the economy," he noted. "I spearheaded the biggest economic transformation ever in the State of Israel in the private sector ... The only thing that we need to worry about now is that the funds that we have already allocated actually reach their intended recipients, and that they reach them quickly enough. This will happen this week, and the week after too," he said.
