Summary The one-year-old girl came to Israel on Sunday in grave condition.
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli authorities say a granddaughter of Hamas prime minister in Gaza was brought to Israel this week for emergency medical treatment.
A statement from a defense agency says the one-year-old girl came to Israel on Sunday in grave condition, and returned to Gaza on Monday after doctors determined they could not help her.
In Gaza, the girl s father, Abdel Salem Haniyeh, wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday that the girl was "clinically dead" with brain damage. He said he was praying for her.
Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh s office declined comment. But a family friend said the move had "no political significance." He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn t authorized to discuss the matter with media.
Although Hamas and Israel are enemies, Gazans often receive medical treatment in Israel.
