Muhammad Khalil made the posts in 2023 following the Hamas attacks on Israel which killed around 1,200 people.

The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel reported by the BBC heard Khalil had posted ‘Death to Israel' following the attacks while he was employed at Aintree University Hospital, part of the Royal Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Further posts referred to the ‘complete annihilation and eradication of Israel', and claimed the ‘Israeli and western fabrication of news that started on 7/10 is shameless and unprecedented'.

Khalil, who was said to have lost close friends during the Israel attacks on Gaza, admitted he had been emotional and had ‘made a mistake'.

A spokesperson for NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group said: ‘We are committed to fairness and inclusion for everyone and take any allegations that go against these values very seriously. We supported the GMC's investigation into this individual, who was immediately excluded from work in October 2023 when we became aware of these posts and their fixed term contract was not renewed.'
