U.S. Lawmakers Call on Israel to Release 16-Year-Old Palestinian American Held Months Without Trial

HeadlineOct 23, 2025

A group of 27 Democratic lawmakers has written to Secretary Rubio and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, urging them to secure the release of Mohammed Ibrahim, a teenage Palestinian American citizen from Florida. He was arrested by Israeli soldiers, who blindfolded and handcuffed him during an early-morning raid on his family’s West Bank home in February. Ibrahim spent his 16th birthday in an Israeli prison, where he’s been held without trial for nearly eight months.
