Health Minister Uriel Busso has ordered Health Ministry director-general Moshe Bar Siman-Tov to immediately cancel instructions issued yesterday by defense officials allowing the treatment of Gazans and individuals from Lebanon in Israeli hospitals. To many casual observers, this seems inhuman at worst and ego-maniacal at best.
Busso says that the policy of allowing treatment of Gazan terrorists, and others from combat areas brought into the country by the IDF, only in IDF medical facilities has not changed.
The minister claims that the instructions issued by the defense establishment yesterday were sent to hospital administrators without his knowledge or approval and that no formal discussion occurred between him, Health Ministry staff and defense representatives.
"What formal discussion has to occur?" asked reasonable observers in most countries. "Usually, when a person is seriously injured or sick, they get treated in a hospital. What else is there to consider" they ask.
Busso directed Bar Siman-Tov today to inform defense officials that any requests for changes to the policy that has been in place since soon after October 7 must be brought to him and be considered in serious, professional deliberations under his auspices.
(Hal Turner Remark: ". . . deliberations under HIS auspices? Another ego-maniac on the loose. And like so many others in that cesspool country, Israel, his ego-maniacal proclivities will endanger people's lives. Is this ego-mania genetic?)
