Head of the Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) party Avigdor Lieberman reacted to the news that forty percent of those newly infected with the coronavirus are ultra-orthodox with the following statement:
"Failure to properly address the corona crisis comes from pressure exerted by the ultra-orthodox parties on the government. This leads to one conclusion: as long as Shas and United Torah Judaism will be members of the coaltion government, we will not be able to vanquish the corona plague."
