[Ynet News] Nurit Felter - A 12-year-old Iranian boy suffering from brain cancer is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Friday for emergency surgery. The boy, who already underwent surgery in Tehran, was later admitted to a Turkish hospital. The Turkish doctors suggested the family seek medical assistance in Israel, and so they did, through Israeli liaison Jacob Levin. "When a child's life is at stake, religion and origin play no part," said Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit. "If we can help, we are more than willing to do so."
