Congress members urge Rubio to free Dr. Abu Safiya
Members of the U.S. Congress, led by Representatives Maxine Dexter and Raul Ruiz, have reported that Palestinian doctor Hossam Abu Safiya, who has been detained by Israel for more than 500 days, is suffering from a serious deterioration in his health due to maltreatment and torture. They are calling on the U.S. State Department to intervene urgently to ensure his release and provide the necessary medical care. Abu Safiya is a pediatrician and the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. He was arrested in December 2024 without any official charges, subjected to beating, sleep deprivation, and a lack of medicines, losing about 20 kilograms and showing signs of torture. International organizations and American officials emphasize the urgent need for his immediate release, considering the danger his condition poses to his life, and are calling for increased international pressure on Israel to prevent his health from further deteriorating.
