Senate blocks report on Israeli violence in West Bank

Original: # Senate blocks measure requiring report on # Israeli # violence in # WestBank All # Democrats except # JohnFetterman (P

The US Senate on Tuesday failed to advance a measure requiring a report on Israeli violence in the West Bank, voting it down 51-47. Nearly all Democrats supported the resolution, with Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania the only member of his caucus to vote against it. The vote has drawn criticism from progressives and renewed scrutiny of Fetterman's positions on Israel.

Why now: The near-party-line vote with one prominent Democratic defection is fueling debate over the party's stance on Israel.
