During a visit to the occupied West Bank, US Congressman Ro Khanna reported being detained for 90 minutes by armed Israeli settlers. He stated that upon the arrival of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), they sided with the settlers rather than assisting him and his group. Khanna was on a fact-finding mission to assess the impact of Israeli occupation in the area.
Khanna's aide mentioned that they sought help from the US Embassy in Jerusalem during the incident. The situation highlights ongoing tensions in the region, particularly regarding the legality of Israeli settlements under international law.
