The Lancet, one of the two most important medical journals in the world, published a call to suspend the Israel Medical Association (IMA) from the World Medical Association (WMA) because it 'failed to condemn the genocide of Palestinians, the destruction of Gaza's health system and the torture of detainees.' This unusual publication under the 'World Report' category is another step in the escalation of boycott pressure on medical and academic institutions from Israel amid the war. The report stated that 1,150 health professionals signed a petition to suspend the Medical Association from the WMA.
