Medical Association to soften strike measures

The Israeli Medical Association announced that it will soften its protest measures in response to a request made by National Labor Court President Nili Arad, who is dealing with the negotiations between the doctors and the Finance Ministry.

The association said that outpatient clinics and other medical facilities around the country will be shut down next week as part of the strike. Oncology and emergency surgery will take place. (Meital Yasur Beit-Or)
