In a media interview, Fluss reiterated Israel’s commitment to all persons, whether they be Israel nationals or foreigners, who are still in the country of assistance amidst the conflict between Israel and Iran.
“All of them are getting the full medical support and treatment in hospital like any other Israeli. Secondly, all of them are in Israel and will get the support and compensation of whatever mechanisms we have,” Fluss stated.
