Arutz 7 is reporting that an Arabian princess is in Israel for heart surgery.
A daughter to one of the royal families in the Persian Gulf is in Israel undergoing a complicated heart operation, according to Knesset Member Ayoub Kara.
The royal patient insisted on undergoing the procedure here – after her doctors recommended one of Israel’s leading hospitals as the best place to undergo the operation. For security and other reasons, the name of the hospital has not been published.
Considering that travelers with Israeli stamps in their passports aren’t allowed to enter most of the Arab countries, the princess and her travel plans must have raised an eyebrow or two among the other royals in her country.
The woman’s husband, a prince of the unnamed Gulf kingdom himself, is considered a key figure in his country. He told MK Kara that if – and hopefully, when – his wife recovers, he plans to lobby for construction of a large medical center that will take in patients from around the Arab world – with Israeli doctors helping to set up the project.
It would be nice if the Arab world decided to throw in the towel on the Arab-Israeli conflict and take advantage of having a first world country with Jewish doctors living in the neighborhood.
When a princess needs a complicated heart operation, who you gonna call? Not Ahmed, the guy who cuts the hands off thieves, that’s for sure.
