American Sheikhs oppose Israel probe
The U.S. Senate rejected on Wednesday a proposal that would require the State Department to investigate human rights violations committed by Israel in the West Bank and to prepare a report on them. The proposal aimed to highlight issues such as the detention of Palestinian children and acts of violence carried out by Israelis against American citizens, with the potential to impose financial sanctions on security aid to Israel if the report was not submitted within 30 days. The vote resulted in 51 in favor and 47 against, with some members leaning towards one side; Democratic Senator Jon Vitterman joined the opposition, while Republican Senator Rand Paul sided with the Democrats.
