A coalition of over 40 U.S. lawmakers, led by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, has written a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, urging him to use all available diplomatic tools to secure the immediate release of Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American student who has been detained by Israeli authorities since June without charge. The lawmakers expressed grave concern over Safi's deteriorating health under appalling conditions in custody and warned that her life is at risk. The letter highlights Safi's chronic medical condition, Familial Mediterranean Fever, for which she has not had regular access to medication while detained. Israeli forces abducted Safi from her home in the occupied West Bank during a predawn raid as part of an alleged crackdown on anti-occupation activism. The U.S., Israel's largest military aid donor, has faced criticism for its continued support despite reports of human rights violations and the killing of several American citizens over the years. The Israeli government has yet to respond to the letter or requests for comment regarding Safi's detention. The State Department, however, maintains that it is committed to ensuring the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad, and is aware of reports of an American detained in the West Bank, tracking the situation closely and advocating for her access to adequate medical care and regular consular visits. Some activists have called for the suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel under Washington's regulations, arguing that prolonged detention without charge is a gross violation of human rights.
