US elders impede Israel violation accountability
Republican members of the Senate challenged an attempt to compel the Trump administration to submit a report on the escalation of violence in the West Bank, including the killing of Americans by settlers or Israeli forces. The vote ended with 47 in favor and 51 against, with full support from Republicans for most Democrats, with a few exceptions. This decision is considered part of the political rivalry between the two sides regarding Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, as violence in the West Bank escalates and the United Nations emphasizes that settlements are illegal, while Israel considers the territories disputed. This vote comes weeks before the U.S. midterm elections, at a time when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a crucial election, amidst deteriorating U.S.-Israel relations and some Democrats opposing Israel’s policies in Gaza.
