Deputy Attorney-General Dina Zilber has ordered an investigation into an incident that occurred yesterday, when a health worker sent to conduct coronavirus testing in the Samarian community of Yitzhar was refused entry to the community due to his being an Arab.
According to a report on Channel 12 News, Zilber wrote: "This was an incident of discrimination that flies in the face of basic humanitarian principles and contradicts the values of equality and basic respect that we espouse as a democratic society."
