A campaign in the United States is calling on physicians and healthcare workers to withdraw from the American Medical Association and stop paying membership dues, Shehab Wire reported. Organizers of the effort characterize the association's stance toward Gaza as falling short of what medical professionals expect from their primary professional organization.
The boycott initiative reflects escalating pressure from within the U.S. medical community over how the AMA has responded to the conflict. Supporters argue the association has not taken a sufficiently strong position, prompting calls for membership resignations and a halt to dues payments as a form of protest against the organization's Gaza policy.
