Two Israeli courts have rejected petitions seeking the release of 14 Palestinian doctors held without charge or trial and an independent medical examination for a Gaza hospital director, Physicians for Human Rights Israel said on Wednesday.
The Supreme Court dismissed the group's petition to release the doctors, who include hospital directors and specialists, saying it found no grounds to intervene in the military chief of staff's decision to keep them in detention. A separate ruling addressed the request for an independent medical examination for the Gaza hospital director.
