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 Americans killed in the West Bank. The resolution criticised what it called a lack of accountability by Israel's government and an inability by the United States to secure justice for the victims' families. Supporters of the measure said the failure to advance it leaves questions unanswered about how the killings were investigated and whether any accountability will follow.
Why now: The Senate's rejection of the resolution amid ongoing violence in the West Bank has drawn attention to US-Israel relations and accountability for American victims.
