At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed demonstrations against him.
"I see an attempt to trample democracy in these demonstrations. There's a distortion of all the rules. No one's restricting the demonstrations, we're being flexible with them. It's a coronavirus incubator, no one's restricting it, no one's even tried to restrict them. Someone's pouring fuel on these demonstrations."
He added: "The writing's on the wall on Facebook, the writing's on the wall in the demonstrations; no one will be able to say 'I didn't know'."
