Israeli soldiers who were injured during ground battles in… Gaza stripMeeting the Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuWhen he visited them in a hospital in Jerusalem, according to what the private Hebrew Channel 13 revealed yesterday, Wednesday.
The channel said in a report that Netanyahu visited the rehabilitation department at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem to meet soldiers wounded in battles in Gaza, but some of them refused to meet him.
This is not the first time that soldiers wounded in Gaza have refused to meet Netanyahu. This happened again about a week ago when a number of wounded soldiers refused to meet him at Sheba Hospital in the Tel Hashomer area near Tel Aviv during his visit to them, according to the same source.
In this context, the injured soldier, Or Schneeberg, said on the X platform: I am in the hospital, in the rehabilitation ward at Hadassah. Netanyahu is coming to visit me tonight, and one of the officials asked me if I wanted him to come to my room. Of course I refused.
He added in his post: It turned out that he was among a wing that included 18 wounded fighters, 15 of whom asked that he not enter them, according to what Channel 13 reported. He continued to say: “I am in Jerusalem, a stronghold of (the party) Likud (Leaded by Netanyahu). “The change is felt. The era (of Likud rule) has ended.”
On the other hand, Hadassah Hospital ignored reports about some soldiers refusing to meet Netanyahu, and said in a statement carried by the Hebrew channel: “(Netanyahu) passed among the wounded, who received him with great enthusiasm and warmth, encouraging their spirits, and assuring them that the State of Israel is united and committed to achieving complete victory.”
The hospital explained that Netanyahu visited the wounded on Wednesday evening.
It is noteworthy that when Netanyahu visited Sheba Hospital about a week ago, representatives of the Israeli army and members of the Prime Minister’s Office asked, before the visit, who would agree to meet him, and they were gathered in another section isolated from the rehabilitation ward, according to the same channel.
It is noteworthy that Israeli reports revealed earlier this month that 500 Israeli soldiers had suffered psychological trauma since the beginning of the occupation’s aggression against Gaza. Earlier yesterday, Israeli Channel 12 reported that a soldier who had recently returned from the war in Gaza opened fire on his comrades in a room after waking up from a “nightmare,” wounding a number of them with minor injuries.
According to Israeli army data, as of Wednesday evening, 498 officers and soldiers had been killed since the start of the aggression against Gaza on October 7, including 164 who were killed since the start of the ground operation inside the besieged Strip and in the exchange of fire on the northern border.
Since the beginning of the war, 2,110 soldiers have been injured, including 329 seriously injured and 576 moderately injured, while Hebrew media say the number of injured is estimated at about 5,000.
