In response to Gamzu’s comments, MK Aida Touma-Sliman (Joint List) called the commissioner “racist” and said that he related to the Arab community as if its intention was to commit harm.
She added that “nobody has used such a term to refer to all the people gathering on the beachfront, in cafes in Jaffa and Tel Aviv – no one has called them perpetrators,” and that “Gamzu should focus on his work and examine what can be done in particular in the Arab sector.”
MK Ayman Odeh, head of the Joint List, also criticized Gamzu over his remarks.
“It is a pity that while Arab doctors are at the forefront of the struggle against the coronavirus, the commissioner comes out with a statement that harms an entire society,” Odeh said. “Instead of making such unfortunate statements, I invite him to work together to defeat the plague.”Source: Coronavirus czar accuses Arabs of ‘attacking’ Israel by spreading virus – The Jerusalem Post
