Notwithstanding Hamas' brutal October 7th assault, Israel wnet out of its way to seek help for a little Palestinian child, only to be repaid with hate and abuse. Welcome to 2025.

The Israel Foreign Ministry (MFA) has sparked controversy with a July 28 X post accusing media outlets of exploiting a photo of Osama al-Raqab, a 5-year-old Palestinian boy with cystic fibrosis, to falsely portray Israel as responsible for his suffering. The post, which garnered significant attention, claims the child’s image was used in a “modern blood libel” to smear Israel, despite his medical evacuation to Italy on June 12, 2025, coordinated through Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit.

Osama al-Raqab, whose condition worsened during Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, was evacuated by Israel with his mother and brother via Ramon Airport for treatment in Italy, as confirmed by multiple sources, including the MFA and COGAT’s English X account.

Child ‘misleadingly’ presented as symbol of Gaza starvation ‘suffers from muscular disorder’.
Media outlets that used the image have been accused of leaving out critical context. July 28, 2025.
