Israeli activists rallied outside a US diplomatic compound in West Jerusalem on Monday, demanding the release of detained Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, while urging Washington to stop arming Israel.

The protest, organised by the anti-occupation Israeli group Free Jerusalem, also called for an end to Israel’s war on Gaza and the abuse of Palestinian detainees.

Demonstrators held banners demanding Abu Safiya’s release and chanted in support of the Palestinian doctor while beating drums. Other signs urged the US to end military support for Israel.

Louis Frankenthal, one of the protesters, told Anadolu that Abu Safiya’s detention was “illegal” and that the doctor has been subjected to torture, starvation and conditions that put his life at risk.

“Our message is to stop the torture, stop the genocide and stop the war against the Palestinian people immediately,” he said.
