Israeli Supreme Court

Over 800 UK medical workers have called on the UK government to secure the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian pediatrician held in Israeli captivity for over 550 days. The open letter, organized by Amnesty International UK and Health Workers 4 Palestine, highlights reports of torture and urges immediate diplomatic action.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian doctor captured by the Israeli military in Gaza in late 2024, is at imminent risk of being killed in Israel's Nitzan Prison. The article calls on the West to act to secure his release and that of 82 other Palestinian healthcare workers detained by Israel.

The Netanyahu government has declared it will ignore an Israeli Supreme Court order, marking the first time an Israeli government has openly defied the country's highest court. This action is expected to trigger a constitutional crisis in the Jewish state.

Israel's Supreme Court rejected an appeal to release Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian doctor and director of Kamal Adwan hospital, who has been detained without charge since late 2024. At least 14 Gaza doctors are held without charge in Israel for over a year.

Physicians for Human Rights-Israel has petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court to order the release of 14 Gaza doctors. The group accuses Israeli authorities of obstructing the rehabilitation of Gaza's healthcare system.
