Families of Palestinian-Americans killed in the West Bank are demanding justice. BIDDU, West Bank (AP) — When Sayfollah Musallet of Tampa, Florida, was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the West Bank two weeks ago, he became the fourth Palestinian-American killed in the occupied territory since the war in Gaza began.

More than two dozen Democratic senators are demanding the Trump administration investigate the deaths of Americans in the West Bank, where Israeli settlers, backed by Israeli military, have at times used violence to expand their annexation efforts.

Most residents in this wealthy, picturesque Palestinian village hold U.S. citizenship. That has not protected them against spiking violence by Israeli settlers.
