Armed Israeli settlers detain Representative Ro Khanna during West Bank visit

Khanna reported being held for 90 minutes while visiting the village of Khirbet Zanuta to observe Israeli occupation. The congressman stated that armed settlers blocked his vehicle and prevented his delegation from leaving the area. According to Khanna, members of the Israel Defense Forces were present during the encounter but allegedly sided with the settlers. The incident occurred as the representative sought to examine the impact of settlement expansion on local Palestinian communities. Reports indicate that the detention lasted over an hour before the delegation was allowed to proceed.
