I am extremely alarmed by information that Dr. Adnan Albursh, a well-known surgeon at Al Shifa Hospital, has died while detained by Israeli forces in the Ofer military prison.
While I acquire more information, I URGE the diplomatic community to intervene with CONCRETE MEASURES to protect Palestinians.
No Palestinian is safe under Israel’s occupation today.
How many more lives will have to be taken before UN Member States, especially those demonstrating genuine concern for human rights globally, act to PROTECT the Palestinians?
