Can you connect us to efforts being made to get him released (where we might be able to help?) I know there was a huge outcry when he was detained but I haven't seen anything more recent.

The prohibition on torture is jus cogens. It can never be acceptable. The question of whether medical staff can lose civilian status by assisting combatants is another issue. They may act as medical workers while supporting Hamas combatants, since Hamas purged non-loyalists in every domain long ago

Well why don't you talk about his heinous crimes??? Which includes *checks notes* being a doctor in a seized city and not abandoning his patients while the ocupation exploded his hospital
