By Staff writer | Al Arabiya News
Thursday, 24 July 2014
Dr. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian surgeon volunteering at a Gaza hospital, has invited U.S. President Barack Obama to spend a night in Al Shifaa Hospital to see the consequences of Israels deadly assault on the Palestinian enclave.
Speaking to Al Arabiya News Channel, he described the Israeli offensive as merciless and murder.
When shall this stop Mr. Obama, Mr. [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu? he asked.
You are responsible for this massive killing of innocent Palestinians. You have so much blood on your hands now that it is too hard to clean them, he added.
In an open letter addressed to Obama earlier this week, Gilbert wrote:
Mr. Obama do you have a heart? I invite you, spend one night just one night with us in Al Shifaa hospital. I am convinced, 100 per cent, it would change history.
