In closed conversations, it was reported, Horowitz said: “It is inconceivable that people are received from war and not cared for medically. It is a shame and a disgrace, and this disgrace will not be.”
Also, last night there was a limited discussion around the issue, when Shaked once again expressed her opposition, and the decision made was not to provide the funding for insurance. But Meretz and the Labor Party are expected to insist on the move.
Minister Shaked responded: “These are not refugees, but people who come here with a tourist visa and they will receive urgent medical treatment through ‘Terem’ and the families who host them will take care of their private insurance.”
