Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz attended Friday the Gay Pride Parade in Tel Aviv, which was held in the tens of thousands without masks, even though the indoors mandate came into effect earlier in the day.

“This is an extraordinary event, truly amazing, good atmosphere and held according to the best tradition of the Gay Parades,” Horowitz stipulated.

“We will promote the gay pride community’s rights now also from within this government and I’m determined to lead it and bring achievements as well,” he stated.
