Supporters of Israel argue that outside calls to release detainees ignore Israel's sovereign right to enforce security laws in territory it controls, and that such appeals impose foreign cultural judgments on Israel's self-defense.
Supporters of Israel culturally frame the case as a matter of sovereignty, arguing that outsiders cannot dictate how Israel handles security detainees in its own territory.

Supporters of Israel argue that detentions like Dr. Abu Safia's are lawful security measures, and that US lawmakers lack standing to demand releases without weighing Israel's legal and security evidence.
Supporters of Israel counter that international humanitarian law permits detention of medical personnel suspected of aiding hostilities, and that the Geneva Conventions' protections for medics do not shield individuals from lawful security review.
Supporters of Israel argue that lawmakers' selective outrage over one detainee ignores security vetting, and that quiet diplomatic channels, not public pressure campaigns, actually move Israeli policy.
Supporters of Israel see the lawmakers' demand as leverage-seeking theater: Israel holds detainees under security law, and yielding to US pressure over one doctor would reward political grandstanding and weaken its bargaining position.
Supporters of Israel counter that such pressure yields no real leverage, since Dr. Abu Safia's case offers no strategic gain; they argue lawmakers gain visibility while Israel absorbs the cost, so the gesture changes nothing.
