An amendment from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) that would have directed the State Department to investigate the killings of at least nine U.S. citizens in the West Bank since 2022 failed in the Senate by a 47-51 vote, according to Mediaite. The measure asked the department to send Congress a report no more than 30 days after adoption.
50 of the 51 Republicans who voted opposed the amendment. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the only Republican who voted for it. Every Democratic senator supported the measure except Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA).
