UN Expert Urges Medical World to Cut Ties With Israel Amid Attacks on Gaza Hospitals
As Israeli forces stand accused of war crimes during attacks on multiple Gaza hospitals in recent days, Francesca Albanese – the United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories – on Monday implored the global medical community to respond by cutting ties with Israel.
“I urge medical professionals worldwide to pursue the severance of all ties with Israel as a concrete way to forcefully denounce Israel’s full destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system in Gaza, a critical tool of its ongoing genocide,” Albanese wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

When the world lives in anticipation of whether Trump’s second term brings promised peace and reduces the risk of nuclear WWIII, the war party is pushing its agenda. The magazine Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece of the influential Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), warns about the heavy price of American retreat from the world stage and explains why Washington must reject isolationism and embrace primacy.
