PoliticsTop Democrats accuse Trump officials of enabling ‘unbridled violence’ by Israeli settlers

Senior Democrats accuse the Trump administration of giving violent Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank a green light. They warn that its policies have created a “climate of impunity and unbridled violence” threatening Palestinians and US citizens alike. A letter signed by 19 Democratic senators and representatives calls for sanctions against extremist settlers to be restored. It also demands independent US investigations into the deaths of nine US citizens killed in the West Bank since 2022.
