Israel’s Emergency Responders Save Everyone — Jews, Muslims, Palestinians

The Lie:

In emergency situations, Israel refuses lifesaving care to Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria, and discriminates against Arab civilians.

The Truth:

United Hatzalah is just one example of how Israel’s emergency services treat anyone in need — with no regard for religion, ethnicity, or citizenship.

Background:

United Hatzalah is one of Israel’s most diverse and effective emergency response networks. Its 8,000+ volunteers — Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, secular and religious — answer over 2,000 calls a day and routinely reach patients in under three minutes.
Teams routinely save lives in mixed Jewish–Arab areas, on shared roads, and in Palestinian population centers—all places where response time is critical

Truth Explained:

United Hatzalah includes over 400 Muslim volunteers and treats Palestinians daily, handing off patients to both Israeli ambulances and the Red Crescent.

Muslim and Jewish EMTs jointly resuscitated a woman in Ein Nakuba after 10 minutes without a pulse — one of thousands of examples of mixed teams saving lives together.

During the 2021 unrest, Muslim EMTs led mass-casualty treatment, including during the Givat Ze’ev synagogue collapse when observant Jews could not use phones on Shavuot.

Palestinians regularly seek treatment from United Hatzalah responders because they arrive faster and provide advanced care at no cost. https://www.facebook.com/UnitedHatzalahofIsrael/photos/3380505192003094
Israel’s commitment to medical neutrality is well-documented — even when the Palestinian Red Crescent has refused to treat wounded Israelis, Israeli responders have never withheld lifesaving care from Palestinians.
