Leaflets promoting clinics in illegal Israeli settlements handed out at London medical recruitment event: Sky News
The MedEx UK fair offered licensing tests and meetings with hospitals as Israel seeks 2,000 doctors by 2029, officials said.
- On Sunday, October 25, the medical job fair "MedEx UK" was hosted in London by the Israeli Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, the Jewish Agency for Israel, and Nefesh B'Nefesh to recruit British doctors.
- The event is part of the International Medical Aliyah Program , which aims to bring "2,000 doctors to Israel by 2029" to counter a "brain drain" that saw 1,369 physicians leave Israel between 2023 and 2025.
- Activists reported that providers like Terem distributed leaflets promoting medical centers in illegal West Bank settlements, including Ma'ale Adumim, Beitar Illit, Modiin Illit, and Katzrin in Syria's Golan Heights.
- The Israeli Ministry of Health expects a sharp drop in new doctors this year, as the 2019 Yatziv Reform revoked recognition for graduates from many Eastern European and Palestinian universities.
- Campaigners argue the event violates the spirit of upcoming UK sanctions against "those who support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlement activity," though Labour MP Andy McDonald noted measures are still moving through parliament.
