German authorities have prevented Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British-Palestinian surgeon with a speciality in medicine in conflict zones, from entering the country to attend a conference about his work in Gaza hospitals.

In a post on his personal “X” account, Abu-Sittah stated that “the German government has forcibly prevented me from entering the country.”

“Silencing a witness to genocide before the ICJ adds to Germany's complicity in the ongoing massacre,” he added.

“They are accomplices in the crime and that is what accomplices do. They bury the evidence and silence the witnesses. They are admitting to the Nicaraguan charges at the ICJ,” Abu-Sittah said, adding that Europe is “shedding its liberal hypocrisy.”

Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah is an influential figure in raising awareness of the “Israeli” aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in the death of more than 33,000 Palestinians since his departure from the coastal enclave in late November.

In the early weeks after the occupation began its assault, Abu-Sittah, being an English-speaking doctor, began speaking out of the experiences of Palestinian doctors and the tragic humanitarian situation in the Strip caused by “Israeli” attacks.
