A report on Channel 2 Sunday morning said that Jordan's King Abdullah has personally petitioned Defense Minister Ehud Barak to allow the three year old daughter of a top Hamas terrorist into Israel for medical treatment. The girl underwent a major operation at the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza last week, but the operation failed, apparently because of a doctor's error. The girl's life is now in danger, and Abdullah wants Israeli doctors to save her.
Barak and IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi have authorized the request, the report said, after consulting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The girl, along with her mother and another family member, was on her way to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon on Sunday morning.
