US Senators Call for Probe into Death of American in West Bank
A 20-year-old American man named Saif Musallet was killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
U.S. senators, including Chris Van Hollen, are asking the government to investigate this death.
The senators are concerned because they say other Americans killed in the West Bank haven't had proper investigations either.
Saif's family is from Florida.
The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, wants Israel to look into this quickly.
The situation is part of rising violence since the war in Gaza started in October 2023.
The senators are asking for updates on other deaths.
U.S. senators demand an independent investigation into the death of Saif Musallet.
Musallet, a 20-year-old American citizen, was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
The incident occurred this month while Musallet was visiting family in Sinjil.
Senator Chris Van Hollen led a letter signed by 28 other Democrats requesting the investigation.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee described the death as a criminal act.
