Scholarly journal ‘PLoS One’ publishes article by Hamas health official

The peer-reviewed journal PLoS One, published by the San Francisco-based Public Library of Science, recently ran an article about “rebuilding Gaza’s health system.” One of the authors is a Hamas official.

Youssef Abu al-Rish, deputy health minister in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, penned the “qualitative study of healthcare workers’ experiences and lessons learned from responding to mass casualty incidents (2018-2021)” with colleagues from Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and University Hospital of North Norway in Tromso.

Al-Rish is designated the 10 of spades in the set of playing cards of Hamas officials. (JNS sought comment from PLoS One and from the U.S. Justice and Health and Human Services Departments.)

The article refers to “ongoing genocide” in Gaza, and the authors, including the Hamas official, declared that they have “no competing interests.”
