On Oct 17, Amnesty Secretary General Agnes Callamard tweeted in response to a strike on Gaza's Al Ahli hospital "Horrific: reportedly 100s of patients and medical workers killed in bombing of Baptist Hospital al-Ahli in Gaza. This is the cost of the US and EU unreserved support for Israel: more civilians killed; more war crimes; more, more, more." The strike was ultimately found to have been caused by a Palestinian rocket. In its internal "Lines for Response" document on Nov 27, 2023, Amnesty issued a "response" that failed to acknowledge the post’s clear implication of Israeli responsibility and instead relied on a narrow technical claim of “no attribution,” downplaying how the message functioned as blame. SEE ATTACHMENT Did Secretary General Agnes Callamard’s **post** on X in response to the strikes killing hundreds of civilians on the grounds of Baptist Hospital al-Ahli in Gaza City on 17 October place blame on the Israeli Defense Forces? On the evening of 17 October, Amnesty International’s Secretary General posted on X noting that hundreds of people had reportedly been killed at the al-Ahli in Gaza. Her post made no attribution of responsibility to any parties or individuals in relation to the explosion.
