Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, today (Wednesday, 29 September 2021), spoke with the CEOs of Maccabi Healthcare Services, Clalit Health Services, Leumit Health Care Services and Meuhedet Health Services. Health Ministry Director General Prof, Nachman Ash, national coronavirus project manager Prof. Salman Zarka and GOC Home Front Maj.-Gen. Ori Gordin also participated in the conversation.
The HMO CEOs briefed Prime Minister Bennett on the situation vis-à-vis the national vaccination effort in light of the anticipated increase in inoculations in the coming days.
Prime Minister Bennett directed that efforts be focused on stepping up the vaccination campaign among the Arab public given that the rate of inoculations in Arab communities and in eastern Jerusalem is especially low.
Prime Minister Bennett emphasized that the policy of the government is to keep the country open and the economy functioning as much as possible. The key is increasing the rate of vaccinations among all sectors of society, alongside large-scale testing and uncompromising enforcement of the Green Pass.
