Nearly all US Senate Democrats write Netanyahu to demand action on ‘fatal’ settler violence.
Letter drafted by Schumer, Schiff and Booker, signed by all but 2 of 47-member caucus, calls for removing illegal outposts and stepping up probes of killings of US citizens https://www.timesofisrael.com/nearly-all-us-senate-democrats-write-netanyahu-to-demand-action-on-fatal-settler-violence/ "In the letter to Netanyahu, seen by Reuters and signed by 45 of the Senate’s 47-member Democratic caucus, the lawmakers noted increasing levels of “fatal violence by settlers.”
They also appealed to Israel’s leader to step up investigations into the deaths of nine American citizens they said have been killed by Israeli settlers or security forces in the West Bank since 2022.
The “significant surge” of violence in recent weeks has resulted in “a large-scale response by Israeli security forces, mass arrests of Palestinians, and reported attacks by settlers on mosques,” the letter stated."
