JERUSALEM, May 10 (Xinhua) -- Israel's hospital doctors opened a 24-hour warning strike on Monday morning, the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) said.
The doctors are protesting against the Israeli Finance Ministry's decision to stop funding 600 doctor positions added in hospitals during the coronavirus period to strengthen the Israeli health system.
Zion Hagay, chairman of the IMA, said the ministry acts in "a belligerent and one-sided manner," due to the lack of a permanent government in Israel.
The ministry has explained that most of the coronavirus hospital wards have been closed, and the need for which the additional positions were given, and the legal path in which they were budgeted "are no longer relevant." Enditem
