Israeli forces have arrested at least 15 Palestinians after another night of raids across the occupied West Bank, even as Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian homes north of Jericho and used bulldozers to level Palestinian farmers’ crops south of Nablus. The settler violence came as the Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, visited an Israeli settlement in the West Bank after an unannounced visit to Israel with other Republican lawmakers. Israeli settlements are illegal under international law, but Johnson used his visit to declare, “The mountains of Judea and Samaria are the rightful property of the Jewish people.”

Meanwhile, family members of a U.S. citizen who was killed in a settler attack in the West Bank last week are demanding the Trump administration open an investigation into his killing. Forty-year-old Khamis Ayyad asphyxiated to death after settlers set fire to cars outside his home last Thursday. He died trying to put out the flames, after Israeli soldiers arrived and fired tear gas in his direction. Ayyad is a former Chicago resident. He leaves behind five children. He’s at least the second U.S. citizen killed in the West Bank since July.
