Mohammed Ibrahim, a Palestinian-American teenager, was released from Israeli detention after nine months, following his arrest in February for allegedly throwing rocks. His family claims he was subjected to severe mistreatment, including beatings and starvation, while held without charge in the occupied West Bank, according to Al Jazeera, BBC, and AA.

Upon release, Mohammed, who turned 16 during his detention, was taken to a hospital for medical care, with family members noting his pale and underweight condition due to alleged abuse. His uncle, Zeyad Kadur, expressed immense relief stating that the family had been living a "horrific and endless nightmare," reflecting on the psychological and physical toll the ordeal has taken on them, according to BBC and AA.

The case drew significant attention, resulting in a campaign led by US lawmakers urging action from the Trump administration. Their efforts were critical in advocating for Mohammed’s release, which reflects broader concerns regarding the treatment of Palestinian minors in Israeli custody. The US State Department has emphasized its ongoing commitment to provide assistance to his family, as they seek to recover from this traumatic experience, according to Al Jazeera and BBC.

Following Mohammed's release, his family expressed hope for justice not only for him but also for other Palestinian minors who may have suffered similar abuses. They pointed out that countless children remain detained under comparable conditions, highlighting systemic issues within Israeli detention practices, as indicated by advocates including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), according to AA and BBC.
