Israel officials have alleged that Red Crescent medics broke humanitarian norms by refusing to help victims of a terror attack in the southern West Bank on Friday.
A woman who was in a car in which her husband and son were shot to death said Red Crescent medics arrived at the scene first but left after seeing that the victims were Israelis.
A Red Crescent spokesperson responded that the group was prepared to help, but a Magen David Adom ambulance arrived before they could.
On Sunday, Netanyahu ordered UN envoy Danny Danon to file a complaint with the International Society of the Red Cross over the incident.
