An incoming government minister in Israel suggested that doctors should be allowed to refuse treatment to LGBTQ+ patients on religious grounds.
The comments made by far-right politician Orit Strock have increased fears of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric in the region, according to The Guardian.
The 62-year-old did a radio interview where she was widely understood to have implied Israeli doctors would be able to refuse LGBTQ+ patients treatment.
Her comments also referenced legislation her party is drafting for the amendment of anti-discrimination law. Strock said that doctors could deny treatment if it goes against their religious beliefs “as long as there are enough other doctors who can give this service”.
