Israel could be first country to get out of pandemic – Netanyahu

Israel could become the first country to get out of the coronavirus pandemic, its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed on Friday.

“I want to tell you that the combination of the marvelous vaccine campaign on the one hand, and a short and quick lockdown on the other, is allowing us to get out of the coronavirus pandemic,” he said.

His comments come days after Israel started the mass vaccination against coronavirus. Meanwhile, Netanyahu stated the country could impose another lockdown to prevent the further spread of the virus.
