Family Say Palestinian-American woman named Samaher Esmail, and she’s been scooped up by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the West Bank.
The Big Accusations:
Esmail’s family isn’t holding back. They’re accusing the IDF of giving her a hard time, saying they roughed her up and won’t even let her take her meds.
Where’s the Consular Support?:
And get this, US officials haven’t even swung by to check on her.
What IDF Says:
The IDF’s side of the story? They’re saying they nabbed Esmail ’cause she was stirring up trouble on social media. But they’re keeping tight-lipped about any mistreatment allegations.
The US Speaks Up:
He’s all about making sure she gets treated right and has access to legal help.
Why the Fuss?:
Esmail’s family thinks her arrest was over some old Facebook posts and cartoons she shared. They’re saying it’s just her speaking her mind, not trying to cause a ruckus.
