The US Senate voted 47-53 on Tuesday to reject a resolution that would have required the Trump administration to report on the killings of nine Americans in the occupied West Bank and on Israel's treatment of Palestinian children in military detention, with votes falling largely along party lines. Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, forced the vote under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which lets members of Congress demand a State Department human rights report on countries receiving US security aid; Republican Rand Paul backed it, while Democrat John Fetterman opposed it. The vote matters because it shows growing but still insufficient Senate support for scrutinising US aid to Israel over accountability for the deaths of US citizens.
