Netanyahu orders investigation into release of Al-Shifa Hospital Director
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered an investigation into the release of the director of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
Netanyahu described the release of Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya as “a severe mistake and an ethical failure,” according to a statement by his office.
He claimed that Abu Salmiya “belongs in prison,” and accused him of being responsible for “holding and murdering” Israelis in Gaza.
Abu Salmiya was arrested on Nov. 23 along with several medical staffers while traveling south from Gaza City following an Israeli raid on the hospital.
