“We are witnessing a historical progress in the Middle East, but with more confidence we can say that our region was plunged into darkness, and – for a long time”, – the general stock Uzi Dayan, former head of Israel’s National Security and a former commander of the IDF Central District. Earlier this week, Uzi Dayan, spoke in Jerusalem, the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, in front of the activists of the Association, “The Public’s Right to Know.” We offer our readers ZMAN.com summary statement known at home and abroad, the military analyst. “Which political forces will win in November elections in Egypt? What happens in Syria in the coming year? What are the processes occurring in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan? And in what state will become in the next five years, Iraq – a strong civilized democracy? The enemy Iran? ally in Tehran? Or break Iraq into three autonomous states? to answer these questions today is not possible. And even those who are pretending able to predict the future of our region, it takes only speculation. The only thing absolutely clear: the situation in the Middle East is extremely unstable. And even if we assume that in the long run, our region will be the process of democratization in the near future, we definitely expect ocean turbulence. Because the mass of disaffected young people splashing out on the first square in Tehran (Iran because it is in all and has begun!) and then on Tahrir Square in Cairo and the streets elsewhere in the region, has no idea what she wants. The only thing that probably wanted to protesters – is to draw attention to themselves. shout out loudly: “We too have our being – that we” protest “lower classes” is authentic and basically did not insist on Islamic ideology. But in the foreseeable future, it is Islam writes at his own expense an unprecedented victory. Because Islam is the best prepared to ensure that call, ” Arab Spring “- his victory.” Uzi Dayan, convinced that once the dust settles in Egypt first enthusiasm for the overthrow of President Mubarak, the participants of mass protests suffer terrible disappointment. 50% of Egypt’s population are illiterate, unemployment stands at ten percent … “Every year there comes a million new mouths to feed – and they all want to eat – General Dayan said. – Tons of people living in unimaginable poverty. Infrastructures are underdeveloped … That’s why the enormous expectations that the Egyptians had for Tahrir-square, will inevitably grow into a monstrous disappointing. ” “A lot of people when frustrated, start talking about” strong hand “that can restore order – continued Uzi Dayan. – But who is able to restore order in the Middle East? Any new military regimes: in countries where they went over to the participants protest, the rulers were overthrown. But in those states in which the army or not defected to the opposition or split – break out the bloody civil wars, as in Libya. But no matter how the situation turned around in the first stage, eventually in Any new leadership of any Middle Eastern states will join the powerful influential Islamic movement. “

Uzi Dayan recalls: In 1979, after the revolution and the overthrow of the Shah of Iran came to power, the secular regime. And what he has degenerated since then?. Diane reminded the Islamist movement Hamas came to power in the Palestinian Authority, too, as a result of the first democratic elections (or what is implied by them). Another one of the first results of the “Arab spring” (the term, by the way, General Dayan fundamentally do not use) – the obvious fact that the Arab-Israeli conflict is by no means the main problem which disturbs the Arab states. “That was why the decision of the Arab-Israeli conflict did not become a stabilizing factor in the Middle East region”, – said Dayan. “Do not solve the problem of Palestinian brothers demanded that the crowd at Tahrir Square in Cairo or the protesters in Bahrain, Syria, or opposition? – Dayan recalled. – No, They are completely different issues. And only a very inert American political doctrine still considers the Arab-Israeli conflict as a major problem in the region. ” Diane reminded all of Washington’s policy in the Middle East was based on several fatal errors. First: the main problem in the region is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Second: Arab-Israeli conflict – territorial, it is not part of the war of civilizations. And is it worth to drive Israel into the boundaries of June 4, 1967 – in the Middle East and prosperity will reign idyll, on the one hand, and starts to decline sharply the tension between Islam and Western civilization. All these predictions turned out to be wrong, but the inertia of Washington’s policy on this has not diminished the pressure on Israel – as well. “There is already quite clear that the only true ally in the Middle East was Israel,” – said Dayan.

According to a Lebanese source (never confirmed by Israel), during the 2006 war, “Hezbollah” managed to hack into Israeli radiocode and send messages to Israeli battlefield to their commanders. At the same time Israel’s attempts to suppress the communication system, “Hezbollah” have failed – its techniques were able to calculate the frequencies at which the suppression was not made, and the militants reconfigure their radios to them. “Hezbollah” allegedly insulting even send coded messages by radio communication IDF.

Ministry of Health decided to settle the medical tourism growing in recent years, space rate. As reported today, the economic newspaper TheMarker, Director General of Ministry of Health, Professor Roni Gamzu made public a draft circular on the basis of which the industry of medical tourism is supposed to resolve. Until now, like the newspaper, every hospital in its sole discretion to build work, in which – for a fee – provided medical assistance to foreign tourists. The circular is based on the recommendations of a public commission headed by deputy director of the medical center, “Sheba,” by Professor Arnon Afek. Criticism of hospitals, taking foreigners to the detriment of patients, the Israelis intensified in recent months against a background of statistics clearly indicate the lack in many departments of established posts of doctors, nurses and hospital beds. Terms of circular distributed to all public hospitals in Israel (box office, “Clalit”), as well as in metropolitan hospitals, “Hadassah” and “Shaarei Tzedek.” For the first time in the history of Israel circular sets a “ceiling”, whereby the medical tourists can not exceed 5% of the cash flow of any medical center. The circular also states that medical tourists will include only selected, pre-specified services (except for complications requiring intensive care), and they will be provided only on condition that this does not delay the provision of similar services to patients from among the Israelites. Treatment of tourists will be held in the afternoon – after the hospital the day. However, the Circular allows foreigners holding of certain procedures in the morning, but before the administration department to make sure that it will not affect the care of Israeli citizens in need of a similar procedure. The circular prohibits foreigners prefer the appointment of queues, determining the conditions of admission, as well as the provision of hotel rooms, working at several hospitals. In addition, tourists will be deprived of the opportunity to choose their own doctor or a surgeon – with the exception of private clinics and private medical services Sharapov, serving the capital’s hospitals, “Hadassah” and “Shaarei Tzedek.” The main thing – the doctors will receive a cash reward, depending on the type of activities carried out by them, not on whether a service is an alien or citizen. Thus, the servicing of foreign tourists stop to serve the stimulus, through which up to now part of Israeli doctors prefer to treat foreigners at the expense of Israeli patients. Cash surpluses, which are formed in hospitals due to treatment of tourists, go “on the development of hospital infrastructure, aiming at reducing the waiting time the doctor population in Israel. In addition, the portion of the profits extracted from the medical tourism hospitals in the center of the country, will be redistributed to the periphery, where medical tourism almost do not.

At the same time, reminds TheMarker, it is known that in the year to Israel for treatment on the average about 30,000 foreigners arrive due to which hospitals receive from $ 200 million to half a billion. Aphek Professor Commission was formed after the November 2010 newspaper “Haaretz” published an investigative report on “Medical Tourism in Israel.” In it, in particular, was expressed the idea that foreign service slows medical care the citizens of Israel, they have longer to wait for their turn to certain test or operation.
