Disclosure in the "Cakes for a Terrorist" case:
The mediation agreement was signed between Dr. Ahmed Mahajana, the management of Hadassah Hospital and the Medical Association. According to the agreement, the specialist doctor immediately returns to his work in the heart surgery department at Hadassah Ein Kerem. It also appears that Hadassah retracts most of the allegations against him in the case .
A week ago it was revealed in "Israel Hayom" that it appears from the mediation agreement that was about to be signed that the management of Hadassah retracts all claims against Dr. Mahajana, a specialist doctor in the department of cardiothoracic surgery at Hadassah Ein Kerem.
The complaints against Dr. Mahajana, as revealed in Israel Hayom, were filed by two police officers who on October 26 of this year supervised a patient in the ward who was arrested on suspicion of involvement in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem. The police officers complained that the doctor served the patient refreshments and non-edible foods of the hospital, because he congratulated him and called the detainee "martyr" in front of female employees in the department, because he refused to identify himself to the police officers and even insulted one of them.

Following the complaints, on November 20, Dr. Yanon Buda, MD, director of the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, held a hearing for the doctor, at the end of which he criticized him very strongly for "the most serious incident, for serious disciplinary violations that have the potential to flare up and seriously harm order the public, that they severely damage the status and reputation of Hadassah and have the potential to justify taking severe disciplinary measures and terminating his employment with Hadassah."
Following the complaint and the hearing, the specialist doctor was suspended from his work at the hospital.
However, following the vehement protest of the Medical Association that there is no legal justification for terminating the intern's work and the harsh public and media criticism leveled at Hadassah's management, a process of mediation between the parties began before retired judge Hila Gerstel, and upon its commencement, the hospital's management announced that "this is an unusual event in which cakes were placed To the detainee who is suspected of committing an incident of hostile sabotage activity that is under the supervision of the police and where a confrontation developed with the police officers. Such an incident requires a thorough investigation and the management intends to have a matter-of-fact professional procedure as fast as possible."
As part of the agreement, an agreement was formed between the parties that on the day of the event, an event of drinking and refreshments was held in honor of the success in the exam of Dr. Mahajana and another doctor in stage 1 of the specialization, and then refreshments left over from the event were distributed in the department to non-doctors and nurses in the department, including patients in the department and the detainee who was under the supervision of the police There is also agreement that the statements attributed to Dr. Mahajana in connection with the arrest were not made by him.
From the agreements between the parties it appears that Hadassah declares according to the opinion of senior doctors that Dr. Mahajana is considered a professional doctor, with good interpersonal relationships who is always ready to help and is devoted to his patients. According to the mediation, the management of Hadassah acted in good faith in this case in view of the nature of the allegations made in the incident This, because she had to conduct an investigation to the end and that there were no extraneous motives behind the investigation conducted by the hospital management.
As part of the mediation agreement, the parties also undertake not to publicly or refer in any forum and in any way whatsoever to the agreement for the mediation process.
It also appears that the parties declare that the mediation agreement was drawn up out of an understanding and agreement that Hadassah has enshrined in its banner existence with respect for all populations and treating everyone with respect, both in terms of the staff and in terms of the patients, and that Hadassah integrates employees and treats patients without any discrimination while giving respect to every person without Any consideration that is not a clinical and medical consideration.
