Israel's Channel 13 and Raviv Drucker still more interested in Americans being blocked from doing humanitarian work in Gaza than the American press.

This is the banner story on @haaretzcom.bsky.social Hebrew-language website right now. It's genuinely shameful that Israeli media aggressively covers an American surgeon being barred from Gaza, while American media couldn't care less.

Thanks to @acsjacs.bsky.social for publishing our call to protect healthcare workers and patients in wartime. We hope @facs.org leadership will appreciate how dire the situation is before even more of our colleagues are murdered in conflicts from Gaza to Ukraine.

Today Israel bombed Nasser to kill more journalists, waited until rescue workers got up to the scene on the 4th floor, then bombed them as well. This is a video of the second strike. We are arming a country that murders first responders and journalists in hospitals.

Thank you to the @cfr.org and @thinkglobalhealth.org for publishing an analysis of US-Israeli attacks on hospitals by me and @lenrubenstein.bsky.social today, link below.
Of the 3,623 hospital attacks recorded globally last year, 26% occurred in Gaza, where 0.03% of the world's population lives.
