Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - The US administration refused to allow a representative of the Israeli government to join President Joe Biden's visit to a Palestinian hospital in occupied East Jerusalem .

Barak Ravid, correspondent for the American Axios website and Walla Hebrew, quoted 4 senior Israeli officials as saying that the Israeli Ministry of Health asked the US administration to accompany a representative during his visit to Augusta Victoria Hospital, but the request was rejected, claiming that the visit is private and they do not want it to be political.

According to the reliable Israeli correspondent, Israel does not like the American rejection method, in light of the United States' recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and therefore it is pressing the Biden administration to change its mind, and that there are ongoing talks between the two parties in order to try to resolve the dispute.

He pointed out that the Israeli National Security Adviser, Eyal Kholta, held a discussion yesterday about the American request that Israel help Palestinian hospitals in East Jerusalem, indicating that there is support from Israeli ministries for this step, as it shows equality on the Israeli side and changes its image in front of the world, while Security agencies such as the Shin Bet have expressed their opposition to this, on the grounds that it would weaken the Palestinian Authority.
