Prime Minister Naftali Bennett welcomed the FDA's regular approval of the Pfizer vaccine. "This is an important step that proves the righteousness of our path: to get ahead of the world and be the pioneers of the third vaccine in the world."
"Israel is leading the world in the fight against the corona, as we maintain the health of Israeli citizens and their livelihood at all costs, despite the pressure to close the country. Later today I will go to the United States, which approved the third vaccine after us. The Americans did it with a slightly lighter heart because we already went in the right direction, after the difficult - but effective - decisions we have made," the prime minister added.
