I am writing to express my grave concern regarding the ongoing human rights violations by Israeli forces. Recent reports have highlighted conditions at the Sde Teiman detention center, described as more horrific than Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Over 4,000 Palestinians, many of whom are civilians, are subjected to extreme abuse, including sexual assault, inadequate medical care, and deplorable living conditions.
Furthermore, an investigation by Forbidden Stories has revealed that on May 4, 2024, Israeli forces deliberately targeted an Al Araby TV crew in the West Bank, despite their clear identification as press members. The attack, which involved live fire from Israeli military vehicles, underscores a blatant disregard for press freedom and international law.
Given these grave human rights abuses, I urge you to:
1 Cease all military aid and weapons sales to Israel.
2 Support an independent investigation into the reported war crimes at Sde Teiman and the attack on the Al Araby TV crew.
3 Advocate for the prosecution of Israeli officials responsible for these violations under international law.
The international community must not turn a blind eye to such atrocities. Upholding human rights and international law is crucial for justice and peace.
