US Senate blocks measure demanding report on West Bank rights violations
Original: US Senate blocks measure demanding report on rights violations in West Bank
The US Senate has blocked a measure that would have required a report on human rights violations in the West Bank. The move, reported by Reuters, means no formal US government accounting of rights abuses there will proceed for now. Critics are likely to see it as a setback for accountability efforts, while supporters of the block argue Congress should not tie aid oversight in this way.
Why now: It touches on the highly contentious US debate over Israel policy, West Bank human rights and conditions on military aid.
