A senior Likud official responded to the party's intention to try to oust MK Yifat Shasha-Biton from the Knesset Coronavirus Committee Chairwomanship.
"Unfortunately, Yifat Shasha-Biton succumbed to pressure from lobbyists who represent the gyms. That's why she didn't even agree for them to shut down for 24 hours. All the Health Ministry experts warned that the gyms are a real danger of being infected because the virus also passes via sweat and therefore the masks don't provide a response.
"In such a situation, it's impossible to let this pass and therefore she'll be suspended for a while," the senior official said.
