Khanna Alleges Detention by Armed Settlers on West Bank Visit
U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna said he and a small group were detained for more than an hour by Israeli settlers wielding American-made M4 rifles during a West Bank tour near Turmus Ayya; Israeli police and IDF intervened after the road was blocked, with authorities warning the tour leader but not alleging violence. Khanna framed the incident as illustrating the human toll of the occupation and signaled he is considering a 2028 presidential bid, as Democrats reassess U.S. policy and aid to Israel amid ongoing tensions over Palestinian rights.
