JERICHO, West Bank - Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Israel on Sunday for treatment of a worsening case of COVID-19, the Palestine Liberation Organization said.
Witnesses said Erekat, 65, was on a stretcher when he was placed inside an Israeli ambulance outside his home in Jericho, in the occupied West Bank. Erekat, who is also secretary-general of the PLO, disclosed on Oct. 8 that he had contracted coronavirus.
There is heightened concern over Erekats vulnerability to the illness because he underwent a lung transplant in the United States in 2017.
Following his contraction of COVID-19, and due to the chronic health problems he faces in the respiratory system, Dr. Erekats condition now requires medical attention in a hospital, the PLOs Negotiations Affairs Department said in a statement.
It said he would be treated at a hospital in Tel Aviv, but did not identify the facility.
A member of Fatah, the most powerful faction within the PLO, Erekat has been one of the most high-profile faces of the Palestinian leadership for decades.

Why not a Palestinian hospital? Oh wait, they would rather build tunnels.
“At his own expense, he would send out personalized Christmas cards and birthday notes of encouragement to men he had put in prison. The practice often bore fruit over the years as the recipients sought to repay the small kindness extended toward them.”
That was a very clever idea.
Ski was real FBI, honest, diligent, and highly capable.

You know damn well that had it been an Israeli official in the West Bank or Gaza and it was too far from an Israeli hospital that that official could not expect the same level of medical respect and care as the PLO official will get in Israel.
