Israel says Abu Safiya is a member of the militant group Hamas but has yet to formally charge or provide any evidence to support the claim.
It’s left Abu Safiya in limbo inside the underground detention facility Rakevet in central Israel. He and an estimated 13 other Palestinian doctors have been detained indefinitely, leaving families, medical associations and non-governmental organizations calling for their release.
