According to the various news reports, the fight between Netanyahu and Gantz about extending the lockdown is a matter of two days. Netanyahu wants it extended to Sunday and Gantz wants to let it expire tomorrow.
I am not sure why two days is worth a fight, in either direction. Two more days of lockdown is not going to bring down the numbers significantly. What has not worked over the past four weeks or so is not going to suddenly work in the next two days.
And avoiding two more days, one of which has almost all businesses closed anyway for Shabbos, is not going to make much of a difference. Opening up Sunday morning instead of Sunday evening isn't going to save the economy or the kids schooling and mental conditions.
If the fight was over another two week extension, ok, I would get it. But two days, one of which is Shabbos? I don't get the big deal either way.
