The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have released images on Thursday showing a staff member of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Fadi Al-Wadiya, dressed in Islamic Jihad uniform. This revelation has raised questions about whether MSF was aware of their colleague's alleged involvement with the militant group or if they were duped. The IDF has accused Al-Wadiya, who was killed in a strike, of making rockets for Palestinian militants. The incident has sparked a debate about the potential infiltration of aid organizations by terrorists, with some asserting that militants often use such roles as cover. Doctors Without Borders has denied the allegations, maintaining that their slain staffer was not a jihadi. Photos of Al-Wadiya in Gaza were released by the IDF, and an exchange with StateDeptSpox occurred prior to the release.

This exchange with @StateDeptSpox occurred yesterday before Israel released the photos of @MSF "doctor" Fadi Al-Wadiya participating in Islamic Jihad meetings in full terrorist regalia. I look forward to Mr. Miller confirming the IDF's allegations as accurate later today https://t.co/0ntDZPprh1

Long ago Palestinian terrorists realized that working in aid organizations provides steady employment and irrefutable cover. They masquerade as physical therapists in MSF, social workers in UNWRA and freelance journalists with Al Jazeera. But it is in death that that their… https://t.co/5Kg7WaJZiO
This raises disturbing questions. Did @MSF know that its “colleague” was a terrorist? Or was it duped? If it was duped, why doesn’t it realize lots of Gazan terrorists moonlight in other jobs? Like the terrorists who posed as journalists. https://t.co/4GhocKgxZj

Here is the man that Doctor's Without Borders said was their humanitarian worker. I wonder if all the people claiming he had no connection with the Islamic Jihad and that the IDF is lying will be quiet now? I also wonder why I ask questions I already know the answer to… https://t.co/hGExKAP5yN
