US Senate blocks resolution on Americans killed in West Bank
Original: US Senate blocks resolution seeking report on Americans killed in West Bank
The US Senate has blocked a resolution that would have required a report on American citizens killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The resolution cited a 'lack of accountability' by Israel's government and an 'inability to secure justice' by the United States in the deaths of Americans. Supporters of the measure argued the US has failed to pursue justice for its own citizens, while opponents succeeded in halting its advance.
Why now: Ongoing tensions over US policy toward Israel and the treatment of American citizens in the West Bank keep the issue prominent.
