Ro Khanna detained by Israeli settlers during occupied West Bank visit US Democratic lawmaker Ro Khanna said he was detained by Israeli settlers armed with US-made rifles during a visit this week to the occupied West Bank. Speaking with Reuters from a Palestinian village, Khanna said his group's van was surrounded by settlers wielding M4 rifles on Wednesday while touring a part of the southern West Bank where residents face frequent Israeli settler attacks. "We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it," said Khanna, a progressive lawmaker from California in the US House of Representatives.
