Family presses for release of Florida teenager held for months in Israeli prison

A Florida family is urging United States officials to help secure the release of Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Palestinian-American who has been held in an Israeli prison for eight months after being arrested at age 15. The family, already mourning the recent death of Mohammed's cousin Sayfollah Musallet, says Mohammed has suffered harsh conditions, including alleged beatings, overcrowding, and poor nutrition, with limited contact allowed with his parents. Advocacy groups and members of Congress have called for intervention, citing concerns over the evidence against Mohammed and the treatment of minors in Israeli detention. Despite appeals and growing pressure, Mohammed remains imprisoned, with his family anxiously awaiting news and fearing for his well-being.
