Senate blocks measure requiring report on Israeli West Bank violence

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

The US Senate on Tuesday night voted down a resolution, 51-47, that would have required a report on Israeli violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. Every Democratic senator except John Fetterman of Pennsylvania backed the measure, but it failed without enough Republican support. Critics are questioning Fetterman's party alignment, with some arguing he should not be considered a Democrat given his stance on Israel-related measures.

Why now: The vote's failure and Fetterman's break with his party are drawing criticism and debate over Democratic divisions on Israel policy.
