An Israeli nonprofit organization, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, is set to petition Israel’s Supreme Court to halt the Israeli government's plan to send Palestinian patients back to Gaza from East Jerusalem hospitals. The organization argues that returning residents to Gaza during a military conflict and humanitarian crisis violates international law and endangers innocent lives, especially patients facing critical health conditions.
According to hospital officials, around two dozen Palestinian patients, including newborn babies, cancer patients in remission, and their companions, were granted access to Israeli hospitals before October 7. The patients and their companions were scheduled to be transported to Gaza early Thursday morning, but the removal has been delayed twice for unknown reasons.
