EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Senate Republicans block a Democratic resolution on West Bank human rights abuses after a surprise defection by Senator John Fetterman.
Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic-led resolution that would have required the Trump administration to report to Congress on violence and alleged human rights abuses in the West Bank, including the deaths of nine American citizens in recent years.
A motion to bring S.Res. 852 out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee failed 47-51 on Tuesday, preventing the full Senate from considering the resolution. Two senators did not vote.
The vote fell almost entirely along party lines.
