Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed the evacuation
of 150 sick and wounded Palestinian children from Gaza to the UAE,
Israeli media reported on Sunday.

A source told Haaretz that Netanyahu made the decision in response to
the killing of 12 Arab Druze children in the Israeli-occupied Golan
Heights. Israel blamed the massacre on Hezbollah, while Hezbollah
denied the accusation and said the children were hit with an Israeli
air defense rocket.

NetanyahuAs decision to punish the sick and wounded children was
denounced by the group Physicians for Human Rights, which called the
move a ocruel game by the Israeli government with childrenAs lives.o

Last week, Haaretz reported that Netanyahu instructed his government
to arrange transport of sick and wounded Palestinians from Gaza to a
third country for treatment. The first plane was due to take off on
Monday, but the flight has been canceled.

Netanyahu also previously canceled a plan to set up a field inside
Israel to treat GazaAs children. Some children have been evacuated
through Egypt for medical care, but the Israeli capture of the Rafah
border crossing on May 7 cut off that vital lifeline.

IsraelAs genocidal campaign in Gaza has been a war on children, who
make up about half of the Gaza StripAs population. According to GazaAs
Media Office, 16,000 Palestinian children have been killed by the
Israeli assault, and about 38,000 have been wounded.
