Hadeel Abu Salih

Hadeel Abu Salih is a lawyer representing two humanitarian aid activists, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, who were detained by Israeli authorities while attempting to reach Gaza. The activists were initially abducted by Israeli forces. Their detention was subsequently extended by an Israeli court, a decision their legal team, including Abu Salih, has condemned as "the state's lawlessness" and intends to appeal. Despite the extension, lawyers representing the activists have stated that they will be released to their home countries. Abu Salih's current newsworthiness stems from her role in advocating for these detained activists and challenging their extended detention within the Israeli legal system.
