I wonder if anyone already spoke about the case of O’Neal Mahmoud a israel druze boy who is reported to be "fluent" in english without any connection to a english speaking country within the family?

"Dr. Khaloub Qa’awar, a speech therapist and clinical linguist, spent several hours with the boy, and concluded that his level of English was typical of a three-year-old who grew up in an English-speaking family, while his level of Arabic was far below that. She and neurologist Keren Ben Itzhak both told Channel 10 that they had never encountered such a case."
Most of the reports are in hebrew but there are some articles in english as well.
