Chairman of 'For Your Sake' Association Denounces Racist Discourse Amid Election Climate at Rambam Hospital

Yossi Arbelich, chairman of the medical advisory association "For Your Sake," visited Rambam Hospital and condemned the recent racist rhetoric surrounding the hospital. He stated that this discourse is part of the election atmosphere, intended to create division and hatred. Arbelich suggested that the racist talk might be a tactic to divert attention from the government's delay in funding peripheral hospitals.

Addressing serious allegations against Rambam Hospital regarding allegedly improper treatment of an IDF casualty by Arab staff members, Arbelich called for removing racist discourse from the hospital's agenda. He emphasized that such rhetoric serves those seeking conflict and hatred and likely emerged due to the ongoing election campaign. He warned that the real issue is the neglect of peripheral hospitals and the withheld government funds they are owed.
