Exclusive: Ro Khanna to introduce sweeping resolution condemning Israeli settlements, settler violence

US Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna is introducing a House resolution to condemn Israeli settlement expansion and settler violence in the occupied West Bank. The non-binding measure aims to put lawmakers on the record and calls for a review of US policies that may indirectly subsidize settlement activity. It specifically cites senior Israeli officials Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, urging the use of targeted sanctions for human rights abuses. The resolution also calls for a verifiable freeze on development in the E1 corridor to preserve the possibility of a viable Palestinian state.
