The Israeli Medical Association defended Israel over the Gaza genocide - it must be sanctioned
The Israeli Medical Association (IMA) faces calls for suspension from the World Medical Association (WMA) over its failure to condemn attacks on Gaza's healthcare system and its defense of Israel's actions. The IMA claims political neutrality but has opposed international efforts to hold Israel accountable for alleged war crimes and genocide, while aligning with policies affecting Palestinian health.
