## Resource

Congressman Ro Khanna, eyeing a 2028 presidential run, recounts a harrowing encounter in the West Bank where his delegation was detained by armed Israeli settlers wielding American-made rifles—just as they documented a Palestinian village destroyed by those same settlers. After over an hour of standoff, U.S. Embassy intervention secured their release, while Israeli forces claimed they acted to restore order. The incident underscores a growing rift within the Democratic Party over U.S. support for Israel, as public opinion shifts and lawmakers question $3.8 billion in annual military aid. Khanna’s firsthand experience has only deepened his resolve to run for president, amid a broader U.S. debate over Israel’s West Bank policies and their legal and moral implications.
