Six progressive US Congress members have condemned Israel's detention of Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safia, held since December 2024 without charge or trial. Their statement accuses Israel of systematically destroying Gaza's health system, killing at least 1,700 healthcare workers and arbitrarily detaining hundreds more, including 16 physicians. Lawyers say Abu Safia was tortured and beaten in custody.
