At the meeting, the Health Ministry officials presented serious information and evidence about the mental and health condition of the abductees who returned to Israel from Hamas captivity.
The huge numbers of traumatized Israelis who were wounded, lost loved ones, homes, and businesses on October 7 need emotional support and therapy.
The Hamas terrorist was transferred from Tel Hashomer Hospital to a military facility amid ongoing debates as to whether to treat terrorists at hospitals in Israel.
The deaths of several Israeli captives have been declared in absentia without any physical evidence.
Relatives of abductees ask: "Why isn't an official report issued on the health condition of the abductees?"
"The AIDS epidemic is still with us," said Prof. Itzchak Levy, director of the HIV/AIDS center at Sheba Medical Center.
Health Ministry Director-General Moshe Bar Siman Tov asked the deans of medical schools that teach foreign students to prepare to open classes for them.
