Congressman Ro Khanna reported being detained for over an hour by Israeli settlers while visiting the West Bank. According to Khanna, members of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spoke with the settlers and moved a car that was blocking the road. This incident was first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by a spokesperson for Khanna to CBS News. The Times also noted that a photojournalist witnessed the interaction.

The situation in the West Bank remains tense amid ongoing conflict. The United Nations reported in May that more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem since the war began. Israeli rights group Yesh Din stated that Israeli soldiers accused of harming Palestinians in the West Bank are rarely penalized, with indictments issued in fewer than 1% of 2,427 complaints filed between 2016 and 2024.

Several nations that have supported Israel during the war in Gaza criticized the country after IDF troops fired what they described as "warning shots" near diplomats visiting the territory in May 2025. The broader context includes accusations of inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
