US Senate blocks West Bank accountability report
The US Senate blocked a resolution requiring the State Department to report on violence against Americans in the occupied West Bank. The measure cited nine US citizens killed by Israeli settlers or security forces since 2022. Separately, settlers attacked a village, burned two Palestinian homes and wounded three Israeli security personnel.
Why it matters
The vote and latest attack intensify scrutiny of accountability for settler violence in the West Bank.
