❗️Israeli courts reject release of 14 detained Gaza physicians Israeli courts have rejected petitions seeking the freedom of 14 Palestinian doctors from the Gaza Strip who remain imprisoned without charge or trial, according to a statement released today by Physicians for Human Rights Israel. The rulings include a Supreme Court decision to uphold the detention of the physicians, including prominent hospital directors and specialist doctors, alongside a Lod District Court rejection of a request for an independent medical examination for Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Detained since December 2024 under Israel's Unlawful Combatants Law, Dr. Safia has experienced a sharp weight drop from 90 to 76 kilograms, declining hemoglobin levels, chest pain, scabies, and rib injuries following reports of beatings by prison guards. Despite independent medical reviews highlighting severe health warning signs and a lack of proper prison oversight, Israeli authorities blocked independent evaluations based on classified security allegations and international advocacy campaigns. Human rights organizations report that approximately 9,350 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons, facing systematic medical neglect, torture, and starvation amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
