  • An account on X posted photos of Dr. Dana Diab's story, criticizing her comments.

The X user @StopAntisemitism posted a photo of what appeared to be Dr. Dana Diab's Instagram story.

Commenting on a reel, her apparent story read, "Zionist settlers getting a taste of their own medicine" after the terrorist attack on October 7.

The X account accused her of "rejoicing" that Jewish people were being "murdered, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped" by Hamas.

Diab's Instagram account has since been made private.

A 2020 post from Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, which Diab attended, said she was raised in Qatar but is Palestinian. The post describes Diab as encouraging and talented.

A representative for Northwell Health, which includes Lenox Hill Hospital, told Insider Diab was fired after her employers became aware of her comments.

"We've been alerted to offensive comments that have been posted by a team member regarding the crisis in the Middle East," said a statement from Northwell sent to Insider. "We are deeply sorry for the hurt and offense this caused. These views don't represent Lenox Hill Hospital & Northwell Health & go against our core values."

Diab told the $4 Tuesday that she "never called for harm to anyone."

"I never have and never will abdicate my duty and my oath as a physician," she told the Post.
