Israeli Doctors Union Warns Netanyahu of Incitement Against Arab Physicians
The Israeli Doctors Union (Histadrut) has sent an official letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Chaim Katz, expressing concern over recent incitement targeting Arab doctors. The union highlighted that this incitement includes false news and publications alleging preferential treatment by Arab doctors and abusive behavior by Arab doctors towards Jewish patients. The situation has escalated significantly, with one guest on Channel 14 Hebrew reportedly claiming that Arab doctors and nurses are poisoning Jewish patients daily.
Professor Naeem Abu Freih, head of the Doctors Association in the Negev, discussed the issue further on Hala TV. The incitement reportedly stems from fabricated stories and misinformation that suggest Arab medical staff favor Arab patients or mistreat Jewish patients. The union's letter aims to bring these serious allegations to the attention of the highest government officials, seeking intervention to address the escalating hostility and protect Arab medical professionals.
