Report: Netanyahu freezes plan to fly sick Gazan kids abroad for treatment in wake of Golan attack

A plan to send some 150 sick Gazan children abroad to receive medical treatment will be postponed in the wake of the deadly Hezbollah strike on the Golan that killed 12 kids and teens, the Kan public broadcaster.

The report says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who earlier this month vetoed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s decision to treat the children at a field hospital near the Israel-Gaza border, has now ordered the move frozen for the time being.

It says the kids had been set to be flown tomorrow afternoon from the Ramon airbase to the United Arab Emirates.
