The medical charity organization Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières or MSF) has said the defamation campaign launched against it is a propaganda offensive funded and sponsored by Israel.

Declassified UK, a British investigative journalism and media organisation​​​​​, revealed that the Israeli regime`s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, launched an anti-MSF defamation campaign in the UK in an effort to stop the medical charity from providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, ravaged by the Israeli regime`s genocidal war.

Declassified UK reported on Friday that as part of the defamation campaign, the Tel Aviv regime is paying for an advertisement to appear as the top result on Google search when users search for information about MSF.

The Israeli-paid advertisement shows a report released by Tel Aviv, which accuses the MSF of alleged "grave misconduct" in Gaza.

The report - which is titled the "Systematic Conduct of Médecins Sans Frontières" and is authored by an "Inter-Ministerial Team" in Israel and dated December 2025 - claims the conduct of MAF, including the behavior of its international and local staff in hospitals, "contradicts the fundamental ethics of international humanitarian action."

Tel Aviv claims the MSF is authoring the release of "official publications ... that far exceed the bounds of legitimate criticism."

It adds that the MSF is deliberately making an "effort to undermine and deny the legitimacy" of the Tel Aviv regime.

The Israeli regime`s defamation campaign against the MSF comes as Tel Aviv seeks to limit the scope of activities of the MSF and other international humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza, carrying out life-saving operations there on a daily basis.

The move is seen as part of the regime`s wider efforts to dismantle the humanitarian organizations providing crucial life-saving services for Palestinians.

Under this pretext, the Tel Aviv regime has refused to renew MSF`s permit to operate in Gaza and the West Bank since the start of January.

Now, the medical aid organisation says it might be forced by March 1 to stop its humanitarian operations in the Palestinian territories.

The hapless Palestinian patients who are dependent on the MSF for aid in Gaza have responded to the news with horror.

"If MSF stops working, people will lose their lives," one Palestinian pointed out.

In the meantime, MSF has issued a statement giving assurance to the Palestinians that the medical charity group remains fully committed to its humanitarian obligations towards patients in need of relief.

"We remain committed to providing assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and call on the Israeli authorities to reverse their decision... and to put in place acceptable operating conditions," MSF said in its statement.

MSF has provided crucial medical aid to Palestinians, caring for the defenseless Palestinians cut off from the rest of the world throughout the Gaza genocide by providing international and local staff working in hospitals across the besieged strip.
