A viral social media campaign has gained momentum after the UN Palestinian territories envoy, Francesca Albenese, urged medical professionals to sever ties with Israel. The call comes in response to the country’s military raid on northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital and the detention of its director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Medical professionals worldwide are demanding Israel’s release of the detained doctor. The boycott proposal aims to put pressure on Israel to respect medical professionalism and human rights.
