US Senate Democrats urge Israel to curb West Bank violence
A large majority of the US Senate Democratic caucus has called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address rising violence in the West Bank. In a letter signed by 45 members, including leaders Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, and Cory Booker, lawmakers demanded an end to settlement expansion and a crackdown on violence attributed to Israeli settlers. The group also requested investigations into the deaths of nine American citizens killed by settlers or security forces in the territory since 2022.
Simultaneously, the US State Department has issued a Level 3 travel advisory for the West Bank, urging American citizens to reconsider travel due to increased terrorism, unrest, and military operations. The advisory includes new movement restrictions for US government employees and their families, barring personal travel across most of the territory with limited exceptions for specific routes and cities like Jericho and Bethlehem.
