Defense Minister and Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz at today's faction meeting addressed the political situation and outline for continued opening of the education system.
"We must not have another day without making decisions. The disease is still present and we need to produce differential measures, under the policy of 'green, good for him, red, we'll help him," Gantz said.
The Defense Minister emphasized, "We will support opening education for first-sixth and sixth-twelfth grades and opening of trade in open spaces in the green spaces alongside green islands in Eilat and the Dead Sea to open tourism in these areas.
"In the orange cities, we will wait with trade and education until the morbidity is reduced. In the red cities, we will impose lockdowns with the help of 'supermen' from the Ministry of Defense until the morbidity is reduced. We will work to outline the culture in the green spaces," the Minister said.
On the security issue, Gantz noted, "We saw what happened this week in the south and I am aware of what is happening on the northern border with the intensification of Hezbollah. I am working to preserve the security situation in Judea and Samaria, and I call on the Palestinians not to stand by their refusal so that we can improve the civilian situation as well."
At the end of the speech, Gantz referred to the political crisis, "If Netanyahu does not come to his senses, this Knesset will disperse. I instructed MK Eitan Ginzburg to centralize all relevant bills that will promote equality, the war on corruption, and important values in order to promote what is possible for Israeli citizens. If we go to the polls, the citizens of Israel will know who dragged them to the polls."
