Doctors for Human Rights: The life of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is in immediate danger
New information provided by attorney Nasser Odeh, the legal representative of Dr. Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, reveals a severe deterioration in his health condition after being transferred to the underground interrogation section “Rekefet” in Nitzan Prison (Ramla). Physicians for Human Rights, together with his lawyer, are demanding his immediate transfer out of this section and an urgent judicial visit to assess his condition firsthand—before it is too late.
Attorney Nasser Odeh and Physicians for Human Rights have warned that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, is facing an immediate threat to his life, following new information received by the organization after a visit conducted by his lawyer on July 2 in the “Rekefet” section inside Nitzan Prison (Ramla).
According to the written affidavit submitted by attorney Odeh, Dr. Abu Safiya was brought to the visit with his hands and feet shackled and surrounded by masked prison guards. His body showed recent and severe injuries and bruises to the head, around the eyes, ears, and neck, to the extent that his lawyer had difficulty recognizing him.
During the visit, Dr. Abu Safiya was struggling to breathe and speak continuously. He appeared extremely weak and was unable to sit steadily without losing balance, and at several points seemed close to fainting. The lawyer said he appeared to be in a state of severe fear and exhaustion and was hesitant to speak freely out of concern he might be punished. Based on his direct observations, the lawyer concluded that Dr. Abu Safiya is facing an immediate danger to his life.
Dr. Abu Safiya told his lawyer that shortly after the appeal session held in the Israeli Supreme Court, while he was held in solitary confinement in Ganot Prison, four or five guards entered his cell and beat him throughout his body, using a hammer and batons. He added that since being transferred to “Rekefet,” he has been subjected to daily violence and beatings, has lost consciousness several times, and has not received proper medical treatment.
He also told his lawyer that he fears for his life, saying:
“This is the last time you will see me… They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself alive. This is the end.”
Following the visit, attorney Nasser Odeh urgently contacted the Israeli Prison Service demanding an end to the assault on Dr. Abu Safiya, his immediate transfer to another facility, and full medical treatment, holding the prison administration fully responsible for his life. Physicians for Human Rights also issued urgent appeals to the Attorney General, the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, the Public Defender’s Office, and the Israeli Prison Service, demanding an immediate independent visit and medical examination due to serious concerns for his life.
Dr. Abu Safiya has been held since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s “Unlawful Combatants Law,” without formal charges or criminal proceedings. After the Beersheba District Court extended his detention by six additional months, he appealed to the Supreme Court, which rejected the appeal on June 10, 2026. Meanwhile, Physicians for Human Rights filed a petition to the Supreme Court on April 30, 2026, demanding his release along with other detained doctors. Until early June, he was held in Ketziot Prison. Shortly after filing the petition, he was placed in solitary confinement in Ganot Prison, and then—according to the latest information—transferred on June 24, 2026, to the “Rekefet” unit inside Nitzan Prison. According to the organization and his lawyer’s testimony, the severe escalation in abuse and violence—leading to a sharp deterioration in his physical and psychological condition—occurred after these legal proceedings began.

“This is the last time you will see me… They brought me here to kill me.”
Details in the first comment.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐃
A heavy silence fills the world as a great leader is laid to rest.
We are not here to cry in defeat.
We are here to honor a life of unbroken strength, a man who spent every breath standing against the powerful forces that dominate nations.
While others gave in and made deals, he stood like a mountain.
The promises of the West could not buy him, and their threats could not break him.
Where others saw an empire to please, he saw a system of oppression to fight.
He gave his life to the poor, the forgotten, and the wronged.
When darkness fell upon Palestine and the world turned away, he did not.
He refused to look away from the suffering of the Palestinian people, and he completely rejected normalization with Israel.
While others chose silence, compromise, or comfort, he chose to stand firm.
The world closed its eyes.
Even neighbors who spoke Gaza’s language left it to suffer alone.
But he did not move.
When Gaza was cut off in the dark, his hand stayed extended.
He did not just offer empty words; he gave the actual material and political support needed to survive and fight back.
Let those who celebrate today believe that killing a man ends an idea.
They do not understand history.
They do not understand faith.
The blood of those who die for justice never disappears.
It becomes memory. It becomes willpower.
It flows into the generations that come next, not as a loss, but as a continuation.
His death is not the end. It is a turning point that strengthens the resolve of people across Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and far beyond.
He represented the marginalized, the migrant worker struggling in a foreign city, the poor in neglected neighborhoods, and everyone who feels left behind by global power systems.
His spirit was a continuation to other historic voices of defiance.
They see the same rebellious spirit found in Simón Bolívar or Malcolm X, who both fought against the dominant empires of their times.
He was the true embodiment of Christ’s timeless teachings, especially the duty to defend the poor and stand against injustice, unlike figures like Trump who invoke Christianity in name while acting in ways that contradict its core message of compassion, humility, and justice.
He was also a leader of restraint and service.
He lived simply, choosing ideological commitment over wealth or personal gain.
This creates a sharp contrast with modern politicians who are defined by money, deals, and displays of state power, unlike Trump, who is making money while segments of his own people struggle, and for building personal wealth through political and business networks tied to his public influence.
Ultimately, this shows a deep reality of our world today. Leaders are no longer judged just by their laws or institutions.
They are judged by the meaning they give to their followers, a meaning that lives on long after the man himself is gone.
When Palestine is finally free, and when the region is no longer shaped by foreign powers, many will remember him as the ultimate symbol of resistance.
His name will stand forever as a monument to dignity in the face of overwhelming force.
He left behind a generation that refuses to bow.
His absence is not silence, it is an echo.
The struggle continues, and his name will forever mean steadfastness in a divided world.
He is a symbol beyond one man, crossing borders, classes, and nationalities.
He finished his path exactly as he started it: with deep conviction and defiance.
He kept his promise to those who believed in his teachings, and he never traded his principles for comfort.
He was martyred in his home, in his office, not hiding in a bunker. When offered to move to safety, he reportedly told his security team that if all the Iranian people were taken to safety first, then he would consider going to the bunker himself.
He remained where he always was, close to his duties, close to his people, and true to the path he had chosen.
In that final moment, he left the world as he lived in it: not withdrawn, not in retreat, but standing firm on his ground, carrying his conviction to the very end.
His martyrdom was not an escape from fate, it’s a continuation of his principle, unchanged, unbroken, and complete.
It became a binding proof upon all people, not directed only at Iranians or any single community, but at humanity as a whole.
It calls upon everyone, Americans, Europeans, Arabs, and all nations of the world, to stand against tyranny wherever it exists and in whatever form it takes.

The creators of Masha and the Bear have issued an official appeal to British MPs, after the cartoon was accused of being Kremlin “soft power” and hidden propaganda.
“British deputies, there has been a terrible misunderstanding,” Masha says, in character..
“We're not soft power, and certainly not a Kremlin propaganda tool. We are just an ordinary commercial cartoon about friendship and looking out for one another. ”
“Honestly, honestly.”
The statement ends: “Oops. Oh well, we weren’t that bothered anyway.”
I will help you
"My little children, if you have difficulty saying your rosary, before beginning, ask me for the graces to recite it with love. I will help you. I am a mother who loves her children. I do not want to force you, nor turn your time into a burden. I know your devotion to me. I love you so much! I intervene on your behalf to the Divine Will to obtain graces of prayer for each of you who ask me for them. If you do not ask me for them, I will not be able to obtain them for you. Your prayer will not carry graces.
Who among you would go see their mother to obtain a favor from her without uttering a single word? Your Mother loves you. She knows by your approach that you need something, but your silence prevents her from helping you. She would love to help but she respects your attitude. It is her love for you that forces her to remain in this position.
She knows your need, but she waits for it to come from you. She is careful to not interfere with your free will. She loves you more than her own need which is to take you in her arms and say to you: “I know what you need, I will obtain it for you; it is I who will do it. Wait here, mother will make the first move.” "

Pew survey reveals two out of three people worldwide now hold unfavorable views of Israel
——
A comprehensive international poll published by the Pew Research Center in June, has revealed an unprecedented shift in global public opinion, with two out of every three people worldwide now viewing Israel unfavorably.
While the sharpest condemnation stems from Muslim-majority nations such as Turkiye and Pakistan, the total collapse of Israel's legitimacy has transcended regional borders to become a global phenomenon.
The data underscores a profound isolation as even Israel's most loyal foreign partners witness a dramatic surge in public hostility.
Over the past year, unfavorable views have spiked across Germany, the UK, Canada, and the US, while nations like Argentina completely flipped from a pro-Israel minority to a critical majority in just twelve months.
