In February of 2025, 16-year-old American citizen Mohammed Ibrahim was kidnapped and detained by Israel. He's been held on bogus charges and subjected to inhumane conditions in Israeli prison. He's been denied the right to see his family, he's lost a significant amount of weight, and he's contracted scabies from the deplorable conditions. Because of pressure from all over the world, Mohammed was finally granted court hearings. Now, the task is to bring him home to his family in Florida. Add your name to this urgent petition!
President Donald Trump & Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
We, the undersigned, call on the Trump Administration to demand the immediate release of Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Palestinian-American boy from Florida, from Israeli detention. In February 2025, he was detained by Israel and has not been allowed any contact with his family. He was taken from his family’s home near Ramallah on unproven charges.
He has been denied due process, legal protections, and contact with his family — a violation of both international law and his rights as a U.S. citizen. Every day he remains in detention is another day his rights are being violated.
He has lost a fourth of his body weight and was infected with scabies while in Israeli detention. Most recently, he was reported to have dark circles around his eyes, with his health declining rapidly.
U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee has acknowledged that Mohammed “should never have been arrested,” but the State Department has done nothing. Why is a U.S. “ally” like Israel allowed to detain and torture American children?
Demand that Israel release Mohammed immediately so he can return home to his family in Florida.
Equal protection for Americans overseas must apply to every citizen.
Mohammed is a child. An American. He must come home.
Sincerely,
