Israel offers to take in injured people from Aleppo

---

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he has ordered his government to "find ways" to bring injured civilians from Aleppo, Syria, to Israeli hospitals. That could clear the way for hundreds of Syrians, a country still technically at war with Israel, to cross into the country at the express invitation of a prime minister normally known for his hard-line positions on Iran, the Palestinians, and other issues, according to Vox.

"We see the tragedy of terrible suffering of civilians and I've asked the Foreign Ministry to seek ways to expand our medical assistance to the civilian casualties of the Syrian tragedy, specifically in Aleppo," Netanyahu said during a reception for foreign correspondents based in Israel.

"It's being explored as we speak," he confirmed.
