There is no hospital to serve the half-million people who live in the Shomron, Yehuda and Binyamin.
"In Tel Aviv, for less than one million people there are three hospitals," said Yigal Lahav, Mayor of Karnei Shomron.
"In Jerusalem, with a population of 700,000 there are two,
and Haifa has three for its population of 400,000.
We deserve to be treated like a population bloc by the Israeli government. We deserve a hospital."
