Update (7/24/25):

Sen. Chris Van Hollen led 28 Senators in writing to Sen. Rubio & Sen. Bondi demanding an independent, U.S.-led investigation — and accountability for ALL the Americans killed in the West Bank by IDF or Israeli settlers.¹

On Friday, July 11th, during a visit to his relatives in the illegally occupied West Bank, 20-year-old Palestinian-American Sayfollah “Saif” Musallet was beaten to death by Israeli settlers while trying to protect his family's land.

Saif is the 7th U.S. citizen killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers since 2022, and the 5th in the last 19 months.

On January 20, Trump lifted former President Biden's sanctions against groups and individuals involved in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.²

Tell Congress to condemn Saif's killing, call for an independent and thorough U.S.-led investigation, and hold the perpetrators accountable.
