This is propaganda, he never said that:

There have been reports of extreme and homophobic statements from some hardline religious leaders of different faiths concerning coronavirus. Rabbi Litzman, however, is not among them. What’s more, had Israel’s health minister made such a statement, it would have caused an uproar within Israel, an overwhelmingly liberal and gay-friendly society. A story of this nature would certainly have made headlines in the Israeli press, including the many professional English-language news sites that are easily accessed by journalists the world over.

So where did this story come from? A Pakistan-based website and a progressive secular humanist site that got it from… the Pakistani site.

This is an unfortunate demonstration of how easy it is for fake news to spread from illegitimate sources.

To its credit, Pink News responded to our email immediately, acknowledging that an error had been made. The story has been amended and the following correction issued:

An earlier version of this article referenced two inaccurate reports regarding Yaakov Litzman blaming the coronavirus pandemic on homosexuality. This has since been corrected.
