Blue & White MK Avi Nissenkorn left a government briefing on the coronavirus in the middle in protest of Likud Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein’s decision to close parliament.
Nissenkorn told Health Ministry director Moshe Bar Siman-Tov and National Security Council head Meir Ben Shabbat that while he respected them both and the work that they’re doing, such updates should be made before Knesset committees, which can’t be done until Edelstein re-opens parliament, Blue and White says in a statement.
