A coalition of over 40 US lawmakers, including Senators Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Chris Van Hollen, have penned a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging him to intervene in the detention of Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American student who has been held by Israeli military since June without charge. The lawmakers, led by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, expressed concern over Safi's deteriorating health and the alleged poor conditions she is being held in. The Palestinian American student, who suffers from a chronic medical condition called Familial Mediterranean Fever, has reportedly been subjected to verbal abuse, stress positions, and poor sanitation. The US State Department, while acknowledging awareness of Safi's case, declined to comment on the specifics citing privacy concerns. The lawmakers have urged Rubio to use all available diplomatic tools to secure Safi's immediate release for necessary medical care and return to her family. This call comes amidst increasing global scrutiny over human rights violations against Palestinians by Israeli authorities, including allegations of torture, unlawful deaths, incommunicado detention, and degrading conditions documented by rights groups. The US government's response to Safi's case could potentially impact the ongoing debate about suspending American military aid to Israel under Washington's regulations, including the Leahy Law, due to gross violations of human rights.
