Senate Rejects Van Hollen Resolution on West Bank Violence

Outlets report that the Senate rejected a resolution led by Chris Van Hollen seeking a State Department report on violence and human-rights conditions in the West Bank. Left-leaning outlets emphasize alleged Israeli abuses, deaths of Americans and accountability. Center outlets mostly report the defeat and reporting requirement in restrained terms, with one also covering Van Hollen’s objection to a separate aid proposal. Right-leaning outlets likewise focus on the procedural vote, adding that the rejected measure would not directly cut Israeli aid.
