Horowitz thanked Levi for his service, saying, Levi had "volunteered to serve as the ministry's director-general during one of the most challenging periods in the Israeli healthcare system. Hezi has served the State of Israel with great professionalism, and I am sure he will continue to contribute his skills to the public health system."
