Doctor tells Knesset there’s no rehab program for Noa Argamani: ‘Even after the hostages return, they are abandoned’

Prof. Hagai Levine tells a Knesset committee that over eight months since October 7, there is still no plan for the rehabilitation of the freed hostages.

“Yesterday I visited Noa Argamani. I am sorry to tell you that despite all our sympathy, there is no plan for her, or the other freed hostages’ rehabilitation,” says Levine, chair of the Israel Association of Public Health Physicians, and a leading member of the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

“There is no rehabilitation program. None,” Levine says. “Even after their return, they are abandoned.”

State Audit Committee chair Yesh Atid MK Mickey Levy responds: “This is a very grave thing. I will urgently contact the health minister to find out why there is no such plan.”

Argamani, rescued in an Israeli operation last week, was released from hospital a number of days ago after undergoing tests.
