Congressman Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, alleges he was detained by armed Israeli settlers during a visit to the West Bank, where he sought to shed light on Palestinian conditions.
His delegation was reportedly blocked and held for over an hour by settlers wielding U.S.-made rifles, while Israeli Defense Forces arrived but failed to offer assistance.
Describing the episode as lawless and unacceptable, Khanna has called for the prosecution of the settlers involved, challenging the Israeli government to act.
The incident has ignited polarized media coverage, portraying Khanna either as a victim of settler violence or as a politician staging a publicity stunt.
Pro-Palestinian activists organized Khanna's trip, emphasizing the intention to highlight ongoing settler violence and the impact of Israeli occupation on Palestinian lives.
This event has further fueled the debate within the U.S. about Israel and its policies, revealing a shifting narrative among Democrats regarding the treatment of Palestinians.
