WorldUS congressman says ‘IDF is lying’ about detention by settlers and soldiers
US congressman Ro Khanna accused the Israeli government and military of “lying” about his detention during a recent visit to the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Khanna said armed Israeli settlers and soldiers blocked his convoy in the South Hebron hills near Zanuta. He posted video evidence of the incident on social media. Israel’s ambassador to the US accused Khanna of staging a political stunt to distract from his support for Graham Platner. The report also links the area to what Amnesty International calls a government-backed “ethnic cleansing campaign” against Palestinians.
