"Ritchie Torres stated that the crisis of extremist settler violence in the West Bank must be confronted, and the perpetrators must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
"Daniel Goldman described the violence as an outrage and urged the US House speaker to vote on proposed legislation imposing sanctions against those committing illegal violent acts."
Israeli settlers have intensified violent attacks on Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, with at least 10 Palestinians killed this month, including children. US lawmakers, including Democratic representatives Ritchie Torres and Daniel Goldman, have condemned the violence and called for accountability. Torres emphasized the need for zero tolerance towards violent extremism, while Goldman urged legislative action against those undermining peace efforts. The situation has led to growing criticism of the Israel lobby among voters, affecting the political landscape for pro-Israel candidates.
