Prof. Itamar Grotto said at the hearing that "we as health professionals need to think about how we approach dialogue and apologize to families, and see how we prevent these nonsense in the future as well. These mistakes have been repeated with Ethiopians, and these problems are not over yet - so more It's more important to talk about it. In the end there is a racist element here, as in the blood affair. The main recommendation of the report was an open discussion, to allow all stakeholders to come and join, so that we can continue the discussion.
This story needs to be closed. "Regarding the position of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Grotto chose not to comment
. Prof. Grotto said that he should apologize to the families and noted that there is a racist element in the affair.
At the same time, MK Naama Lazimi attacked the Ministry of Health during a discussion in the Health Committee regarding the archiving of the report of the responsibility of medical staff in the East Yemeni abduction case: "How dare the Ministry of Health invite a historian who denied the abduction case to comment on the report?"
What professional element is there in this decision?
This raises question marks over the firm's decisions.
Lazimi added: "How should we as elected officials look at those families who were abducted most dear to them and tell them that the report has been shelved.
It can not be explained in any other way, other than that the Ministry of Health encourages racism.
This issue is not an opposition and a coalition has a range of MKs from different parties who demand answers.
We are not given legitimacy for the rendering and archiving of the report. "
"It's unprofessional what was done! It's unprofessional to invite someone whose opinion is known in advance to give an opinion and on that basis to shelve! How does this happen legally with you ?!"
