Requesting Information on Israel's Human Rights Practices Pursuant to Section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961--Motion to Discharge
The Senate considered a motion to discharge the Foreign Relations Committee so it could take up S. Res. 852, a resolution asking the State Department to report on Israel’s human rights practices, including the killings of nine U.S. citizens in the West Bank since 2022, steps taken by Israeli authorities to investigate those deaths, U.S. citizens held in Israeli prisons, and the treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention. Senator Van Hollen, joined by several Democratic cosponsors, urged an immediate vote, saying the resolution seeks accountability for killed and detained American citizens and a review of human rights conditions in the West Bank. The motion to discharge failed, 47 to 51.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
