In Beersheba, Jewish and Arab paramedics pray outside a Magen David Adom ambulance.

“We work together with Arab medical staff everywhere and not just in the time of coronavirus. There is no difference between us,” Sheba deputy director emeritus, Rafi Walden, told AFP.Israel’s Arab minority are the descendants of Palestinians who stayed on their land after the creation of Israel in 1948. They make up around 20% of the population, but slightly more of the country’s health care workers.

A photo shared widely on social media this week showed two medics pausing to pray in front of their ambulance. One was Jewish – standing and praying in the direction of Jerusalem – and the other a Muslim, who laid out his prayer rug and knelt facing towards Mecca. Recently, nearly 700 Israeli medical professionals, roughly half of them Arab and half Jewish, signed a petition calling on Netanyahu to stop sowing division during a public health crisis.

“Our goal, both Arabs and Jews, is to protect humanity, and we call for an end to incitement to hatred. We’re in the trenches together working to stop the coronavirus epidemic,” said Shukri Awawda, a senior doctor in the Arab city of Nazareth and one of those who spearheaded the petition.The number of novel coronavirus cases recorded in Arab areas has remained relatively low.
