NewzMore than 40 U.S. lawmakers have signed a formal letter urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to intervene in the detention of Sama Safi, a U.S. citizen and student at Birzeit University. Safi has been held in an Israeli prison without charge since June, prompting congressional calls for diplomatic action to secure her release.
Family members of the detained student have expressed concerns regarding the legal process, suggesting that Safi may face pressure to accept a plea deal rather than receiving assistance from Washington to secure her freedom. The situation remains a point of focus for the signatories as they seek state-level intervention in the ongoing case.
