๐ฐโA recent controversy involving Palestinian medical staff at Haifaโs Rambam Hospital reveals several important things about the position of Palestinian citizens of Israel, particularly within the healthcare system.
The staff members were publicly lambasted following allegations that they mistreated and neglected Israeli soldiers in their care, including by speaking only Arabic at the hospital.
The subsequent public debate has gone beyond the specific details of this case, raising broader questions about linguistic rights. In several other recent incidents, Palestinian citizens of Israel have been banned from speaking Arabic in their workplaces.
Far-right politicians, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, have amplified the Rambam allegations, fuelling claims that Palestinian healthcare staff should not speak Arabic at work โ a demand that has previously been formalised in some hospitals"

๐ฐMore than 70% of Palestinians oppose Hamas disarming before Israel completely withdraws from the Gaza Strip, according to a new survey.
The poll found that 72% believe Israel would resume its genocide in Gaza and refuse to withdraw fully if Hamas surrendered its weapons.
The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research published the findings on Wednesday, offering a detailed picture of Palestinian attitudes towards the future of Gaza, their political leadership and the prospect of Palestinian statehood.
Even after Hamas accepted a proposal from Nickolay Mladenov, head of the US-backed "Board of Peace", 40% of respondents expect โthe current situation to continue, with some continued killingsโ.
Israel has rejected the US proposal.
Another 30% expect calm to prevail, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to take control and reconstruction to begin.

Former CEO says Oracle provided Israeli military 'profoundly scary technology' after 7 October
โWe have some really profoundly scary technology at Oracle, and we wanted to make sure that it was available for the effort.โ
A recently resurfaced video of former Oracle CEO Safra Catz has sparked outrage after she boasted about providing advanced technology to the Israeli military in the aftermath of the 7 October attacks.
