Israel’s Health Ministry has expressed its worries about the Palestinian Authority (PA)’s decision to halt treatment transfers to Israeli hospitals, Ma’an reported yesterday.

According to Ma’an, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported the concerns of officials in Israel’s Health Ministry that halting medical transfers would negatively affect Israeli hospitals.
