Detention of Brad Lander in the West Bank

Overview

Brad Lander, the Democratic nominee for New York’s 10th Congressional District, was detained by Israeli forces near the village of Nahalin in the occupied West Bank. The incident occurred while Lander was participating in an olive harvest with Palestinian farmers and a group of approximately 80 to 90 international volunteers.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted the group, declaring the area a closed military zone and stating the harvest lacked required coordination. The IDF characterized the activists’ presence as a provocation. Lander was released several hours later after his identity was recognized, though he reportedly received a warning. Other volunteers faced continued custody or entry bans.

Following his release, Lander issued a statement expressing grief for two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron. However, he simultaneously criticized the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, describing it as a system of “daily violence” and cautioning against collective punishment or ethnic cleansing.
