Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gather in New York advocating for the release of Gaza Doctor detained by zionist regime forces
A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, comprising healthcare professionals, assembled outside NYU Tisch Hospital on Monday to call for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a distinguished physician from Gaza who was detained by Israeli authorities last month.
Protesters holding banners with messages including “Not another child, Not another hospital,” “Gaza forever,” and “We are sick from genocide,” demonstrated their support for Dr. Abu Safiya.
In a recent operation conducted by Israeli forces on December 27, 2023, Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, was detained.
Amnesty International has expressed serious concerns regarding the detention of the individual, calling on Israeli authorities for his immediate release and highlighting significant worries about his health and safety.
As of October 7, 2023, an Israeli military operation in Gaza has led to a reported death toll exceeding 45,800 individuals, with a significant proportion of the casualties being women and children.
Despite a United Nations Security Council resolution urging an immediate ceasefire, the Israeli military persists in its aggressive campaign within the enclave.
In December 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) formally issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The charges, which pertain to alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, mark a significant development in the ongoing international legal scrutiny surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel is currently dealing with a legal challenge at the International Court of Justice, where it faces allegations of genocide related to its operations in the enclave.
