Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a joint press conference in Jerusalem this afternoon with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, in Israel for a one-day visit. The three leaders pledged to work together to increase global vaccine production and prepare for future pandemics.

“We are now emerging from the corona with the Green Passport having vaccinated — well, 90% of our population that has received one jab or two or has already recovered — so we don’t have that far to go … I think Israel serves as model for the world and we are discussing some of these experiences, sharing those experiences with our friends," said Netanyahu.
