Iranian boy to be treated in Israel for a brain tumour.
The Israeli government granted a special permit for the 13-year-old Iranian boy to receive treatment in the Jewish state, which has no diplomatic ties with the Islamic republic and has been the subject of fiercely anti Israeli rhetoric from Iran.
For the boy it is a last ditch chance. He has been severely disabled by the tumour and already undergone unsuccessful treatment in Iran.
