The Israel Medical Association (IMA) said that it has received
threats of sanctions from international and European health organizations,
which have criticized the accessibility of medical treatment for
Palestinians injured during Israel's military operations. On May
10, the World Medical Association is scheduled to discuss suspending
Israel's membership. As a result, the IMA drafted guidelines for
the provision of medical care. The organization called on the IDF
to ensure the continuation of medical services in the territories
alongside the army's security requirements.
