Posted on Jan 15, 2022 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman was diagnosed positive for Corona during the day, five days after receiving the fourth dose of the vaccine. As Shabbat came out, Lieberman wrote on Twitter: "I feel good and I will go through the isolation in the next few days in my home in Nokdim. I will continue to lead a responsible economic policy from home as well, follow the data and plan steps forward. Take care." Likud MK Dudi Amsalem also contracted the virus over the weekend.
In doing so, Lieberman also joins Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who was also infected with the virus during the week, and Minister Zeev Elkin, who informed everyone who met him in recent days yesterday to be tested and said he would continue the isolation in his home. The Minister of Internal Security, Amar Bar-Lev, and MKs Osama Saadi and Idan Roll also recently became infected. Apart from members of the government and Amsalem, Etty Atia, Ofir Katz and Haim Katz from the Likud, Yoav Ben Tzur from Shas, Israel Eichler from Torah Judaism (for the second time) and Michael Bitton from White Brush were also diagnosed as verified.
The National Security Adviser and the head of the National Security Council, Dr. Eyal Hulta, was also found positive for the virus yesterday. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his staff were examined after the discovery in antigen tests and received a negative answer.
Today, Knesset Officer Yuval Chen announced that two employees of the Technology and Computing Division, and an employee of the Human Resources Division, were found positive for Corona. In addition, two members of the Knesset shift and one of the employees of the Research and Information Center were diagnosed.
