Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised former Health Ministry director-general Moshe Bar Siman Tov at a Thursday ceremony marking his departure, Walla reported. 'You have voiced your opinion and stood up for it against waves of criticism, sometimes cruel criticism that I would call evil and baseless,' Netanyahu said. 'You did it quietly, confidently and responsibly, and voiced it to the public.' Bar Siman Tov is being replaced by Prof. Chezy Levy.
