Dozens of Democratic members of the US House of Representatives have sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging his government to take action against violence carried out by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
In the letter, the lawmakers wrote that Israeli settler attacks "have made daily life unsafe for Palestinians across large parts of the West Bank."
Growing congressional attention
The letter adds to a series of statements from members of the US Congress addressing the situation in the West Bank, an issue that has drawn increasing international attention amid the broader conflict in the region.
The lawmakers are calling on the Israeli government to intervene more forcefully to protect Palestinian communities from attacks attributed to settlers, though specific policy steps requested were not detailed in the portion of the letter made public.
The letter reflects continuing divisions within the US political landscape over how Washington should respond to developments in the West Bank, an issue that remains a point of friction in US-Israel relations.
