What happened to Ro Khanna? The California congressman says he and his delegation were detained for about 90 minutes by armed Israeli settlers while visiting the occupied West Bank on 9 July, an episode he described from a Palestinian village during a Reuters interview on 11 July that he said left him feeling 'powerless' and more resolved to consider a presidential bid.
The news came after Khanna, a vocal critic of Israel's conduct in Gaza and the West Bank, travelled to an area of the southern West Bank that has seen repeated settler attacks, where he said settlers armed with US-made M4 rifles blocked the group's van and then called in Israeli Defence Forces personnel.
