Although the kits have an estimated accuracy of only 75%, advertisements in recent days require that other people undergo tests for use, with the promise not to tell the government if the result is positive, according to the report.
The kits are sold en masse for about two hundred NIS ($58) each, he added.
The previous Monday, ultra-Orthodox lawmakers asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to paint to finish what they called the skewed and selective application of public aptitude that unfairly attacks their communities.
Parliamentarians from the ultra-Orthodox Shas and Unified Torah Judaism (UYD) parties met with Netanyahu along with Health Minister Yuli Edelstein and Minister of Public Security Amir Ohana after days of court cases and even threats from some lawmakers that they could block the coalition. .
“Discrimination is implemented in opposition to the ultra-Orthodox community,” Shas leader and interior minister Aryeh Deri said at the meeting, according to a statement released Monday afternoon at his office. “I call on the Prime Minister and the Minister of Public Security to paint for equivalent application.
“A closure that was done without any aid program is aimless and harms the general public,” he said, referring to the recent closures of several ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh.
At the height of the first wave, the cities of Beit Shemesh, Elad and Modiin Illit each had more active instances than Tel Aviv, the second largest population center in the country. In April, the ultra-Orthodox ordered the closure of the town of Bnei Brak, as did several predominantly Jasidic neighborhoods of Beit Shemesh.
At a post-Monday meeting, the TJT said that “imposing a closure on ultra-Orthodox population concentrations is beyond responsibility. It is a behavior that harms the public and is not effective in controlling the coronavirus. Our call is that the action be transparent and egalitarian and that it eliminates sectarian closures ».
The existing approach, the party said, “is unjustified, disproportionate, tainted through selective discrimination and undermines public confidence in the system.”
According to UTJ, Edelstein said his branch would “work to solve this problem.”
In a statement, the Prime Minister’s Office said that before long-term closures, consultations would be held with representatives of the ultra-Orthodox network and, if possible, command centres would be opened in the affected communities themselves.
“I have asked to meet here to listen to him and to possibly respond to his anguish; I know it’s genuine and it’s affecting our listeners,” Netanyahu said. “We need to help, no one needs to be harassed … and I’m willing to listen.”
MEPs complained about the brutality that opposed members of the ultra-Orthodox network through the police application of virus restrictions.
On Sunday, police announced a plan for implementing social estrangement rules to curb the spread of the coronavirus, with thousands of officers enlisted in a special task force to conduct inspections.
Since then, ultra-Orthodox news sites and social media accounts have shared videos of law enforcement officials using what many could be a disproportionate force as opposed to ultra-Orthodox Israelis for failing to comply with mask regulations.
“There is anger at the arrogant application that discriminates against ultra-Orthodox,” said Congressman Michael Michaeli.
Ohana, the Minister of Public Security, who in the past said he was aware of the problems of law enforcement and that he would take action before them, told MPs that he would “work to rectify this as soon as possible,” Deri’s workplace said in a statement. . Training
The UTJ said Netanyahu condemned the violence and said that “police officers who acted illegally will be brought to justice.”
On Friday, UTJ MP Yisrael Eichler asked any of the Haredi parties to temporarily leave the government in protest at what he called the selective selection of devout neighborhoods for coronavirus locks. His call came here days after UTJ MP Moshe Gafni threatened to withdraw his party from the coalition if the government closed the yeshivas. Soon after, the company announced a new set of restrictions on bars, synagogues and other locations, which excluded yeshivas.
Speaking at Monday’s meeting, UTJ mp Uri Maklev said that while the ultra-Orthodox public has supported Netanyahu for a long time, has a “long memory” and “now awaits his action and speech, for action and for a speech,” Maariv reported.
