Outgoing Health Minister Yaakov Litzman said on Sunday that he, too, thought there was an overreaction when preparing for the coronavirus outbreak.

Speaking in an interview on Reshet Bet radio, Litzman claimed that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “responded to the fears of the Director-General of the Ministry of Health, Moshe Bar Siman Tov.”

“I, too, thought it was an overreaction when my Director-General said there could be ten thousand dead. I shouted during the government meeting, in his presence, that it would not happen. The Prime Minister accepted this exaggeration and responded to the fears of the Director-General, I am not complaining about him, because overall the situation is excellent.”

  1. Complain, complain, complain. B”H Netanyahu overreacted and did the lockdown early enough to B”H keep the death toll much lower than the rest of the world. 25 deaths per million in Israel versus 250 in the USA.
    We should thank Hashem that He gave these thoughts to Bibi and that he acted the way he did in curtailing the damage from the virus.
    Everyone who whinks he is a chochom leachar maiseh should keep quiet and continue to thank Hashem and his shlichim.

  2. Litzman, now you’re saying this? If you knew in advance that it’s an overreaction, why didn’t you stop it sooner? And why didn’t you stop your health dept from spreading the bacteria in Yerushalayim and Bnei Brak 70 times more than in other cities?

  3. please correct the title of this article,
    should say something like “originally thought”
    not that ‘there was”
    its also not clear if he still thinks it was an over reaction.
    the current title seems very misleading

  4. No! The numbers were lower here cus Eretz Yisroel has a special Shmira. There was an absolute overreaction. Too much govt force and interference. They cared more about making it in the eyes of the world than their citizens.

  5. Pulling people by there pesos and throwing stun grenades in the face of a little girl is a bit of a overreaction to me
