What was said

"Israeli settlers brandishing American-made M4s detained me and other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers and continued our detention. They made a huge mistake."

Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna was detained for 90 minutes by armed Israeli settlers during a visit to an abandoned Palestinian village in the West Bank. Despite Israeli military claims they reopened the road, Khanna asserts IDF soldiers participated in the detention, with body camera footage supporting his account. The incident highlights systematic treatment Palestinians face daily.
