MK Avigdor Liberman, head of the Yisrael Beytenu party, has attacked the government following new restrictions it imposed early this morning, designed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
"There is neither logic nor reason to these new regulations," Liberman alleged, "unless it was all due to [Interior Minister Aryeh] Deri telling Bibi [PM Netanyahu] to shut things down, and the prime minister and his reserve [i.e. Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz] yet again bowed to the whims of Shas and United Torah Judaism."
