US Senate blocks measure on West Bank rights violations report
Original: US Senate blocks measure demanding report on rights violations in West Bank
The US Senate has blocked a measure that would have required a report on human rights violations in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The move, reported by Reuters, means no such assessment will be mandated for now. The vote highlights continued divisions in Washington over US policy toward Israeli-Palestinian issues and how far Congress should go in scrutinising conduct in the occupied territories.
Why now: The Senate's rejection of a West Bank human rights reporting requirement touches on the highly contested politics of US support for Israel.
