Science and Technology Minister Izhar Shay (Blue and White) told Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) in an interview on Monday evening, "If a budget is not approved by December 23, we will go to elections. If it is approved - it will happen a little later. "
On the possibility of requiring students and teachers to be tested for coronavirus, Minister Shay said, "It is not possible to force a child in Israel to undergo a test and therefore it is a complex issue. Teachers also cannot be forced by law."
