Khanna Detained by Israeli Settlers | Global News
Description
Congressman Ro Khanna, eyeing a 2028 presidential run, was detained for 90 minutes by armed Israeli settlers during a fact-finding trip in the occupied West Bank—where settlers had allegedly destroyed a village. Traveling in a van with his team, they were surrounded by M4 rifle-wielding settlers. Though Israeli forces arrived, Khanna claims they sided with the settlers, prolonging the detention. The IDF later said they dispersed the settlers and cleared the road, contradicting Khanna’s account. His aide contacted the U.S. Embassy for help, and they were freed after police intervened. The incident underscores the volatile reality on the ground and the risks faced by those documenting Palestinian suffering amid ongoing occupation.
