UN experts demand immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya by the occupation

A group of United Nations experts has issued an urgent appeal to the Israeli authorities, demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya. This international human rights action comes amid the continued detention of Palestinian medical personnel who were arrested during military operations.

UN sources clarified that Dr. Abu Safiya was arrested by occupation forces in December 2024, during the comprehensive war launched by Israel on the Gaza Strip. The experts stressed that the continued detention of medical personnel constitutes a violation of international conventions that guarantee the protection of healthcare workers.

In a separate context related to Israeli regional policies, previous reports indicate strong opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a deal to supply Turkey with 'F-35' aircraft. Netanyahu believes that this step could lead to an imbalance of military power in the Middle East, accusing Ankara of adopting aggressive tendencies in the region.

We demand the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was arrested by Israeli forces during their war on the Gaza Strip.
