Yahoo News Jerusalem (AFP) – Israeli and Palestinian officials met at the weekend to draw up an action plan to prevent the Ebola epidemic from spreading to the territories they control, the Israeli military said Sunday.
One proposal to combat the disease was for Israel to provide courses in advanced epidemiology for Palestinian and Jordanian medical staff, a health ministry official said on condition of anonymity.
Ebola has killed more than 4,000 people this year, nearly all of them in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
“There are contacts with the Israeli side regarding this within the context of WHO’s instructions on fighting this virus, which is a global task,” said Assad Ramlawi of the Palestinian health ministry.
“There are common crossings and we have contacts on this, nothing more or less,” he told AFP.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting Sunday with health, military, police, border crossings and other relevant officials over the epidemic.
“We are taking a certain number of measures to isolate any sick people from countries at risk and to treat them of course,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “This is a global epidemic and we are cooperating with other states.”
Efforts to counter the spread of the disease would focus on border crossings and Ben Gurion International Airport, near Tel Aviv, said the statement.
There have been no reported cases of Ebola in Israel or the Palestinian territories.
Israel is a popular destination for African Christians, with around 43,000 of them having visited the country since the start of the year, according to the tourism ministry.

The Israelis and the Palestinians working together especially after Israel bombed the shit out of them recently. Yea right, now I’ve heard everything.
I don’t know about you, but my brain is going into massive overload just thinking about the far out weirdness and lunacy of it all.

I’m guessing since it is coming from Yahoo that this is Zionist propaganda and that it is used to show people or to try and repair the image that the Israelis are good people and want to help the Palestinians and would never hurt them and are willing to work with them.
Awwwww………………….. How touching…
Excuse me while I puke. BLLEEECHH!!!!!!
Nuttinyahoo really has gone CUCKOO FOR COCO PUFFS!!
I’m wondering if Palestinian officials even met together for this Ebola crap. How could they so soon after the Gaza bombing a few weeks ago. Does the MSM really think the people around the world have forgotten it all that quick? Pathetic.
It’s just one ridiculous scandal after another. One day, they will have a scandal in which no other scandal will be able to top it and that’s when the entire world will be in danger and not from an economic collapse but from extinction or annihilation.
I agree.
What a crock of propaganda feces!
I’m sure they’re all in a giant circle singing “Kumbaya”…or whatever is the “Semetic Levant” equivalent melody.
My BS PsyOp Propaganda (BSPOP) detector is maxed out.
I’m afraid it’s going to throw a rod! When it goes through the side of the block…it gets ugly (like my Black 53 Ford at Henley/Hornbrook).
But there’s part of this that gets me really down…because it’s so predictable. Everyone says…Cynic!
But i know I’m just a realist.
Again…my Cassandra Complex is bubbling to the surface.
Just checked in. Thought I was going crazy reading headline and then the story. Good to know I am not seeing things. Yahoo is enough to call it tripe but add nuttyahoo to it? Almost back to business as usual with that combination. Whew
That’s funny. if they said the Israelis were spreading Ebola in Palestine it might be believable, but this is actually comical.
