U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen reiterated calls for accountability for the killing of nine American citizens in the Israeli-occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers or security forces since 2022, including Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Van Hollen posted on X, calling for an end to U.S. complicity in the occupation and demanding accountability. Last month, the Senate blocked a resolution that would have required the State Department to submit a report to Congress on these deaths and the broader human rights situation.
