Deri: Thousand blood donations won't replace blood spilled today
None
Chairman of Shas, MK Aryeh Deri, addressed a Ynet scoop which revealed an Ethiopian MK was barred from donating blood at a Knesset donation center, writing on his Facebook page: "I donated blood today, but a thousand blood donations won't replace the blood spilled today at the Knesset."
He added, "It is not right that, because of one's lineage – without any screening – a certain ethnicity or nationality will be prevented from donating blood. I call on the health minister to correct the related directives immediately." (Kobi Nachshoni)
