Prominent Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, detained by Israeli forces since late 2024, appears by video link at an Israel Supreme Court hearing in Jerusalem on Wednesday. According to his lawyer, Nasser Odeh, the doctor remains held in solitary confinement in Nafha prison and appeared handcuffed and shackled via screen; Odeh says the court refused to remove the shackles. The hearing renews calls from his family and supporters for his release. Al Jazeera reports his family says he shows signs of torture, while other outlets focus on his condition in the video. Reuters, as cited by Al-Monitor, notes that he appears to have lost weight since his capture, looking noticeably thinner. Media access is described as limited: Al-Monitor says brief access was allowed before journalists were asked to leave as proceedings started. Middle East Eye adds this is the first time he has been seen since a video posted on Israeli media in late February last year. The Independent and Winnipeg Free Press report that the Supreme Court is considering whether to extend his detention.
