14:14Now PlayingBritish journalist Richard Medhurst reports on legendary Palestinian resistance fighter Waleed Daqqa who was killed by Israel's deliberate medical negligence: a policy inflicted against Palestinian prisoners, hostages, and detainees. Waleed Daqqa served close to 40 years in prison, and should have been released in 1993 as part of the Oslo Accords. Owing to seniority, he should have been released in numerous hostage exchanges including after October 7 but Israelis kept denying him his freedom and appropriate medical care. His family are also being denied the right to bury him.
