Van Hollen demands accountability for those responsible for killing Americans in the West Bank

U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen called on the U.S. administration to investigate the killing of American citizens in the occupied West Bank and ensure accountability for those responsible for those incidents. Van Hollen said during a session in the U.S. Senate that American citizens have been repeatedly killed in the West Bank by settlers and Israeli security forces, without justice or accountability. He added that it is time to get answers regarding their deaths, urging the U.S. administration to ensure accountability for those responsible and to verify that entities receiving U.S. taxpayer funds comply with the law. Van Hollen's demand comes amid continued documentation of incidents targeting American citizens in the West Bank, and calls within the United States for investigations and a review of accountability mechanisms regarding violations against Palestinians and foreign citizens in the occupied Palestinian territories.
