All this is nothing more than a backdoor method of stating the obvious:- wicked bennett’s closure of the Israeli border to we authentic Jews, has been an abject failure just as wicked bennett has been 1 massive abject failure.
So he might as well reopen the Israeli border to we vaccinated/boosted “negative testing” Frum Jews, and invoke the זכות of we Frum Jews patronizing & davening at מקומות הקדושות
Lest you forget-this is the most vaccinated country on earth.
