Republicans oppose Trump human rights report
The U.S. Senate Republican majority blocked an attempt to require the Trump administration to issue a report on the escalation of violence and abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank, including the killing of American citizens. The vote was 51 in favor of rejecting the measure and 47 against, with Rand Paul excluded, reflecting a partisan divide over support for Israel and human rights in the region. The measure aimed to urge the State Department to assess the human rights situation concerning the deaths of Americans killed by settlers or Israeli security forces amid ongoing rising violence in the West Bank.
