By Maurice Hirsch, Itamar Marcus, JNS and Israel Hayom Staff

 

Until now, Israel has been giving medical treatment in Israel to thousands of Palestinians every year. But this humanitarian program will now come to an end, as the Palestinian Authority has decided to stop sending its citizens in need of medical treatment to Israel.
