The Israeli military is refusing to allow lawyers to meet Kamal Adwan Hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, who was arrested during a raid on the hospital on December 27, the Physicians for Human Rights Israel rights group (PHRI) said. It said in a post on X that “despite our urgent requests to send an attorney, the military says he’s barred from lawyer visits until 10.01.2025”. The group said the Israeli military also continues to withhold information about Dr Abu Safiya’s detention location, despite retracting their earlier claim that he is not being held in Israel, the group added.
