se at Israels nye forsvarsminister Ehud Barak i sin første vigtige
beslutning lader sårede Fatah-tilhængere komme ind i Israel, for at
modtage lægebehandling.
De sårede er i øjeblikket ved at blive kørt til israelske hospitaler af
Røde Davidsstjerne-ambulancer.
Beslutningen møder kritik fra Knesset-medlemmen Slomiansky fra det
Nationalreligiøse Parti, der mener at Barak hjælper fremtidens
terrorister.

In Ehud Barak's first major act as defense minister, the new Labor head
ordered Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories
Maj.-Gen. Yosef Mishal on Wednesday morning to begin immediately
evacuating all Palestinians in need of urgent medical care from the
Palestinian side of the Erez Crossing.
Magen David Adom ambulances were standing by at the crossing to carry
out the evacuations, in conjunction with the Red Cross and the IDF.
Barak's move quickly came under fire by MK Nissan Slomiansky (National
Religious Party) who said that the move was dangerous. Among those being
evacuated are "yesterday's supporters of terror and the potential
terrorists of tomorrow," said Slomiansky.
Slomiansky added that he was curious as to why Arab states weren't
providing humanitarian aid of the Palestinian refugees.
# Despite everything, some Gazans return home
Meanwhile, Israel is allowing all foreign nationals to leave
Hamas-controlled Gaza and enter Israel, an IDF spokesman said.
Military spokesman Shlomo Dror said any foreign national wishing to
leave Gaza was allowed to do so in coordination with their embassy.
More than 100 foreigners have left Gaza since Hamas seized full control
there last week, Dror said. He did not specify their nationalities.
Three buses carrying foreigners left the Erez crossing from Gaza into
Israel on Wednesday.
On Monday, the Russian government said it planned to evacuate 120
Russian nationals from Gaza, according to a report from the Interfax
news agency. The report said the Russians were mostly women married to
Palestinian men.
Barak's move came after the High Court of Justice instructed the State
Attorney's Office on Tuesday night to do "everything Israel can do to
save human life," following a petition submitted by "Doctors for Human
Rights" and "Gisha" that Erez Crossing be opened immediately to allow
sick and wounded Gazans into Israel.
On Tuesday, hoping to prevent a humanitarian crisis and to end the
standoff at the Erez Crossing, defense officials revealed that Israel
had asked Egypt to evacuate some 100 Palestinian women and children
holed up at the border terminal.
An estimated 200 Palestinians have been stranded for days at the Erez
crossing from Gaza into Israel, fleeing the Hamas forces that took over
Gaza last week but unable to enter Israel.
Barak replaced Amir Peretz on Tuesday as defense minister.

Og man må i øvrigt giver Slomiansky ret i at det er 'mærkeligt' at den
arabiske verden ikke synes at det er dens problem, at yde humanitær
hjælp til de palæstinensiske flygtninge.
