In a YouTube video, former Israeli defense minister Naftali Bennet exhibited images of the Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad while alleging the presence of Hamas in Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital.
He explained while showing a picture of the Shifa Hospital building in the background.
“Ever heard of Shifa Hospital? It is the largest medical complex in Gaza. It’s also where Hamas’ headquarters is located while they are conducting terror actions against Israel.”
On Twitter, the users have been widely criticizing the Israeli former minister, claiming that Israeli influencers are panicking as global pressure mounts. A large number of social media users have demanded that the hospital in Islamabad reply to the controversy in order to clear the worldwide community of the misconceptions produced by Naftali Bennet. While there has been no rebuttal to the fake news spread by the Israeli former defense minister. Shifa International Hospital is a healthcare center in Islamabad that has been offering medical services to local and international patients for more than 25 years.
The former minister in his video titled “Bella Hadid, Trevor Noah & John Oliver: What would you do?”, went on portraying a dubious image of a Pakistani hospital and masked it as a hotspot in Palestine where Hamas supposed to operate. The netizens censured the former minister and have been reminding him of taking responsibility for sharing credible news, as being the public office holder of Israel in past.
