The family of Samaher Esmail, a Palestinian-American woman, is growing increasingly concerned for her well-being as they have not been able to make contact with her over a week since she was arrested by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank. Esmail's family is particularly worried because they believe she has not been receiving the necessary medication for her cancer treatment.
According to Esmail's relatives, she was forcefully taken from her home during a predawn raid on February 5. The family expressed concerns about her health, as she is currently undergoing treatment for uterine cancer. While the Israeli military has stated that Esmail was arrested for 'incitement on social media,' no further details have been provided. Requests for comment from both the army and Israeli prison service have gone unanswered as of Tuesday.
