The Iraqi parliament is angry over reports that an organization in the
capital has been sending Iraqi children for medical treatment in Israel.
A parliament statement confirmed reports about this enterprise, even
though government sources previously said it was untrue, according to
Al-Jazeera.
The statement, released by the parliament's Health and Environment
Committee, said the activities of this organization, which is operating
out of Baghdad's Green Zone, was harmful both to the Iraqi people and to
the government, since there are no diplomatic relations with Israel at
any level, and this practice is a violation of the Arab League's boycott
policy of Israel.
The committee demanded the government investigate the matter and take
the necessary legal measures against the organization, if the
allegations prove to be accurate.
A source at the Iraqi Health Ministry told Al-Jazeera the organization
included Iraqi and American medical doctors and that it worked in
conjunction with an Israeli organization.
The Iraqi Health Ministry insisted it had no knowledge of this
organization's operations and that all the sick people the ministry sent
outside of Iraq for treatment were sent through legal channels.
