This comes when violence between Israeli Arabs and Jews living in mixed communities is at an all-time high.
Randa Aweis, an Arab Christian born in Jerusalem, spend the last nine years of her life on dialysis after her kidneys failed. As CNN explains, she recently got a call that a donor kidney was available. So the 58-year-old had surgery earlier this week at Jerusalem s famed Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Kerem.
At the time, she knew nothing about where the kidney came from but would soon find out that it once belonged to Yigal Yehoshua. Per CNN, Yehoshua was “a Jewish Israeli man who died in the wave of violence between Jews and Arabs in the Israeli town of Lod.”
