Over two dozen Senate Democrats are calling for an independent investigation into the killing of Sayfollah Musallet by Israeli settlers. They highlight a failure of the U.S. government to address a pattern of violence against American citizens, including deaths of Shireen Abu Akleh and Ayșenur Ezgi Eygi. The lawmakers note increasing settler violence in the West Bank and criticize the Trump administration for not condemning this violence while enabling harmful settler groups. They assert the U.S. has not investigated at least seven American deaths since 2022, failing to protect its citizens abroad.
Senate Democrats are demanding an independent investigation into the killing of Sayfollah Musallet by Israeli settlers, highlighting a pattern of violence against American citizens.
Since 2022, at least seven American citizens have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers, but the U.S. government has refused to investigate these deaths.
The letter emphasizes that the Netanyahu government has failed to hold accountable those responsible for these killings, suggesting a broader failure in protecting American citizens.
Lawmakers state that the U.S. government has a responsibility to demand justice for American citizens killed abroad and should no longer defer to inadequate Israeli probes.
