Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is currently holding a consultation regarding the new wave of COVID-19 infections in the Kirya in Tel Aviv.
"Right now there is a growing opinion that the protection afforded by existing vaccines against the Delta strain is weaker than we hoped. We do not know exactly to what level the vaccine helps, but significantly less than we thought. We all hope to see the virus slowed, but so far, it hasn't happened. Those who hoped that the vaccines alone would solve the problem are mistaken. We need a strategy that brings as many vaccines as possible on the one hand, but on the other hand, also understands the limitations of the vaccines. "
