Should Israel leave the World Health Organization?
from Kan English · host כאן | Kan
Right -wing members of the coalition think Israel should leave the World Health Organization (WHO). The Foreign Ministry announced that it opposes Israel's withdrawal from the organization, aligning itself with the Ministry of Health, the Israel Medical Association and senior figures in the health system who have protested the planned move. "There is a public interest in Israel remaining part of the organization, and it concerns public health and information sharing," said Nina Ben Ami, Deputy Director General for the UN and International Organizations at the Foreign Ministry, during a discussion held at the Knesset Health Committee. Also participating in the health committee discussion was Professor Haggai Levine, Chair of the Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians, who spoke to KAN's Mark Weiss.
