Israel has detained Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya without charges for a year. Why has the New York Times refused to cover his case?
One year ago, an iconic photo from Gaza went viral of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya walking through rubble in Gaza to be detained by Israeli forces. Today, Safiya is still being held without charges, but you wouldn’t know it from reading the New York Times.
It’s truly concerning to hear about Dr. Abu Safiya’s prolonged detention, and I find it disheartening that this story hasn’t received wider attention. I appreciate The Palestinian Pulse keeping this important case visible.
