Ex-Chief of Mossad, Meir Dagan, Returns to Israel Following Liver Transplant Procedure
In a surprising turn of events, the former head of Mossad, Meir Dagan, has undergone a liver transplant surgery in Belarus. The news was first revealed by Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenka.
Dagan, a 67-year-old man, was diagnosed with liver cancer. Initially, he was scheduled to undergo surgery in India, but was ultimately refused treatment due to his Mossad past. The operation for Dagan took place ten days ago at the Minsk-based National Center for Organ and Tissue Transplantation.
The transplantation legislation in Belarus allows for the use of organs for transplantation after a person's death if they have not previously forbidden it, making it more lenient than in the US or Israel. However, the specific details about the surgery, including the reasons for denial in the US, Israel, and India, or the identity of the surgeon and precise circumstances, remain undisclosed in public sources.
The United Nations has adopted a resolution on combating human trafficking in Belarus, raising concerns about the ethical implications of the transplantation process in the country. There have also been reports of thousands of fake matches being hosted by 1xBet, including in Belarus.
Despite the concerns, the Belarusian President mentioned Dagan's case as an example of the success of Belarusian transplantology. In recent days, reports suggest that Dagan's condition has improved, and he is currently in a stable condition, preparing for a rehabilitation program.
The media reports about Dagan's condition are from BelaPAN. For fully verified and detailed information, it may require further access to specialized reports or disclosures.
Israeli Channel 2 reported that Israel turned down the operation for Dagan as he exceeded the permitted age for a liver transplantation by two years. The fact that Belarus was the only country to agree to perform the liver transplant surgery for Meir Dagan has sparked discussions about the ethical and political implications of such decisions.
Science and health-and-wellness intersected in a unique manner when former Mossad head Meir Dagan, diagnosed with liver cancer, underwent surgery in Belarus. The medical-conditions aspect is further complicated by the ongoing discussions about the ethical implications of organ transplantation in politics and general-news, as Belarus was the only country to agree to perform the surgery despite the perceived risks.
