Prof. Itamar Grotto, Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health, said this morning in an interview with Galei Tzahal: "It is better that the telephone tracking is managed by the state and not by a private body. The Minister of Health also supports this."

On the Teddy Sagi affair, Grotto said: "I did not consider resigning. All my decisions were for the sake of public health. No harm was caused in the outcome, either."
