Israel Blasts Terrorist Use of Bethlehem Hospital
(Jerusalem Post) Judy Siegel-Itzkovich - Health Minister Dan Naveh wrote to World Health Organization secretary-general Dr. Jong Wook Lee following the takeover by terrorists of the Bethlehem psychiatric hospital and demanded a firm denunciation of this action. "After seeing children sent as suicide bombers, we now see terrorists using medical facilities such as a psychiatric hospital as a base for action. All health ministries around the world should denounce this as a cynical and murderous act that no international treaty would approve. Taking advantage of helpless patients in a facility aimed at saving lives - no society can accept this," Naveh said.
