Palestinian "doctor of the poor" Mazen Al-Rantisi has been released after four months in Israeli detention. The Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPSMO) stated that the 71-year-old doctor was released from Israel's Ganot Prison on Sunday. He was arrested on June 21 at his home in Ramallah, with his family not being informed of the reason for his arrest. Israeli media reported at the time that his arrest might be related to his role as chairman of the Union of Health Work Committees, a Palestinian NGO that Israel declared an "unlawful association" in 2020.
