50 soldiers and officers who fought in the Protective Wall campaign in 2002 and are holders of ADI cards [to harvest organs after death] have appealed to to Health Ministry and the National Center for Transplants demanding that Palestinian leader Saib Arekat be removed from the waiting list for Israeli transplants.
Arekat has on numerous occasions villified IDF soldiers, called for a boycott on Israel, conducted propaganda for sanctions against Israel and led the BDS campaign against Israel.
Media reports stated that Arekat had requested a lung transplant in Israel.
