»President Mahmoud Abbas said today that within a period of one year, and thanks to the latest achievements in the Palestinian medical sector, there should be no need for Palestinian patients to seek treatment abroad.
›I don’t want a Palestinian to be treated neither in Israel nor in America, as long as the [doctor] who will treat him/her in America is here now, and as long as we have the machine and the equipment. Are we lacking anything? We are lacking nothing,‹ the President added.«
