Baby Yahya Sinwar: German hospital faces online fury over newborn’s name

A hospital in Leipzig, Germany, sparked significant controversy after posting an Instagram story celebrating a newborn named 'Yahya Sinwar,' the same name as the deceased former leader of Hamas. The post ignited a fierce online debate, reflecting deep divisions over the Israel-Gaza conflict. Pro-Israel voices condemned the naming, while others defended the parents' right and pointed out perceived double standards regarding controversial names. The hospital has since issued an apology, claiming the staff member was unaware of the name's political associations and promising to review its procedures.
