MK Tamar Zandberg (Meretz) has sharply condemned the Prime Minister, following last night's government decision to impose a harsh lockdown over the coming fortnight.

"Netanyahu has no mandate to lead the country on such matters," she wrote on Twitter. "We can't rely on a single one of his decisions. In the biggest crisis in our history as citizens of Israel, we are in the hands of a prime minister who is not fit to occupy his position. He should resign."
