Mohammed Ibrahim, who is 16 and lives in Florida, was arrested in February while on holiday in the Israeli-occupied West Bank for allegedly throwing stones at Jewish settlers, something he denies.

Last month, 27 Democratic US Senators and House members sent a letter to the US State Department, urging the Trump administration to do more to pressure Israel to release him.

In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Mohammed had committed a "a serious potentially deadly crime" and that the court was proceeding under due process.

The teenager's family disagrees.
