Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu condemned what he called "incitement" against the haredi community over the coronavirus outbreak.
"I strongly condemn the rampant incitement against the haredi public, which internalized the danger and the instructions of the Health Ministry," Netanyahu stated Sunday.
"The coronavirus epidemic does not distinguish between haredi and secular, between Arabs and Jews. Neither do we. This war is for all of us. Together we will win it," the prime minister added.

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett spoke to Arutz Sheva about the fight against the coronavirus, the coordination between the Defense and Health Ministries,
"We serve the Health Health Ministry, which is leading the campaign and every task that comes from the prime minister and the government. At this moment, thousands of Division 98 soldiers and the Home Front Command are in Bnei Brak, distributing food to the elderly and isolated.
"At call center 104, we receive 20,000 calls a day. We deliver food to 350,000 older people throughout Israel for Passover. We are technologically advanced in converting equipment placement and purchasing machines. The IDF and the defense establishment are all committed to beating the coronavirus."
The defense minister refused to blame the haredi community for the higher rate of infection among their communities.
"There is no reason to hurt or cast blame. What happened is that on Purim, when there were no clear instructions, there were large celebrations. The information arrived a few days later and therefore their morbidity rate is higher."
"IDF soldiers come to Bnei Brak with a huge heart only to help their brothers. The whole world of accusations is vanity. We will continue as best we can to get on well.
No one is forced to leave his house.
Rather we only offer options to the residents of Bnei Brak and later Elad and certain neighbors in Beit Shemesh, Rechasim and Ashkelon. We do not come to threaten but only to help.
