U.S. Senate Democrats sign letter urging Netanyahu to rein in West Bank settler violence and mass arrests of Palestinians
Forty-two of the Senate's 47 Democrats signed a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for action against settler violence and mass arrests of Palestinians in the West Bank. The letter, drafted by Senators Schiff, Schumer, and Booker, also urged investigations into the deaths of nine American citizens killed in the West Bank since 2022 and a halt to new settlement construction. The letter reflects growing Democratic friction with Netanyahu's government over its conduct in Gaza and the West Bank.
