Israeli diplomat sees possible foreign hospital ships for Gaza wounded

Israel has asked foreign countries to send hospital ships for the proposed treatment of wounded Palestinians allowed to leave the war-torn Gaza Strip to neighbouring Egypt, the Israeli ambassador to Germany said on Thursday.

Interviewed on Israel's Kan radio, Ron Prosor said such a request had been made of Germany and other countries. He described a scenario outlined by Kan, whereby wounded Gazans would board such ships in Egypt's Al Arish port, as accurate.
