Rep. Ro Khanna Detained by Israeli Settlers

US Representative Ro Khanna described being detained by armed Israeli settlers who surrounded his congressional delegation in the West Bank, pointing M4 rifles at them for more than an hour.

The Israel Defense Forces eventually arrived at the scene, but Khanna condemned the settlers’ actions and demanded the dismantling of illegal outposts.

The incident underscores rising tensions in the occupied territories and was part of a broader US visit that also included discussions on Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon.
