    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu participated in the leaders' conference on dealing with the coronavirus, at the personal invitation of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
    PM Netanyahu: "As we all know, the corona epidemic is far from over. At best, we’re only at the end of the beginning. And like all countries, Israel is now trying to find the right balance between protecting the health of our citizens by preventing another spike in infections, and enabling the reopening of our economy.
    But ultimately, to ensure both the public health and national prosperity, we must all work together on improving diagnostics, accelerating therapies and ultimately developing a vaccine. I am confident that Israel’s leading research institutions, its world-renowned scientists and our unique culture of innovation can enable us to play an important role in advancing solutions on all three fronts.
    That is why Israel is pledging today sixty million dollars to these efforts. We hope to work with other countries to leverage our unique capabilities to find solutions for the benefit of all."
