Ro Khanna’s Dishonest Israel Stunt
Key Points:
- Congressman Ro Khanna was touring the West Bank with a group led by an Israeli activist from Breaking the Silence, an organization critical of Israeli military rule.
- During the tour, their car was stopped by armed Israelis because they believed the area was a closed military zone, though reports later indicated the closure had expired.
- The incident highlights the complexity of military closures in the West Bank, which can be used both to displace unauthorized Palestinian settlements and to secure genuinely unsafe or militarily designated areas.
- The situation underscores ongoing tensions regarding settlement legality and security measures in the West Bank.
