Reports have emerged detailing the alleged mistreatment of Palestinians by Israeli forces amid the ongoing conflict. Detainees, including civilians and medical staff, have returned to Gaza with accounts of mock executions, beatings, and humiliation. Some were detained from locations such as schools and hospitals, including Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, where medical staff reported being blindfolded, beaten, and detained by Israeli soldiers for days. The BBC has highlighted these allegations, prompting responses from international figures and the UK government. British officials, including former Prime Minister David Cameron and the current Foreign Minister, have expressed concern over the reports and are calling for an investigation into the treatment of Palestinian medics. The International Criminal Court has been urged to look into these allegations as potential breaches of international law, specifically the alleged detention, beating, and humiliation of 49 Palestinian medics. The hashtag #CeasefireNOW has been used in discussions about the conflict.
