Israeli woman gives birth in Palestinian hospital
An Israeli woman has given birth in a Palestinian hospital - an extremely rare occurrence that won her flowers from the Palestinian president.
Nisreen Chayedri, who grew up Jewish but converted to Islam, says she was shopping in the West Bank town of Ramallah Wednesday when she went into labor. Her husband rushed her to the nearest hospital, where she delivered a baby boy. Chayedri says she received VIP treatment. The hospital found a Hebrew-speaking doctor to translate, and she got a visit from Ramallah's mayor and a bouquet from President Mahmoud Abbas. (AP)
