US Senator Chris Van Hollen renewed his call for accountability for nine American citizens killed by Israel in the occupied West Bank since 2022. “I want to take a few minutes to tell my colleagues about these nine American citizens who Israeli settlers or Israeli security forces have killed in just over the last four years,” Van Hollen said in a Senate floor speech shared in a video on his X account. He named the dead as Omar Assad, 78; Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, 51; Tawfic Abdel Jabbar, 17; Mohammad Khdour, 17; Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26; Amer Rabee, 14
