- 议员们要求内塔尼亚胡调查2022年以来9名在约旦河西岸遇害的美国人的死亡情况
- 参议院47名民主党议员中有42人联名致信内塔尼亚胡
- 参议员们还呼吁停止扩建定居点和非法前哨站建设
华盛顿8月26日路透电 — 美国参议院民主党人周三敦促以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡遏制被占领约旦河西岸地区定居者暴力激增以及以色列安全部队大规模逮捕巴勒斯坦人的情况。
路透社看到的这封致内塔尼亚胡的信件有参议院47人民主党团组中的42人联名签署，议员们在信中指出“定居者致命暴力事件”不断升级。

他们还呼吁这位以色列领导人加强调查，追究自2022年以来9名在美国公民在约旦河西岸被定居者或安全部队杀害的责任。
信中称，近期几周的“暴力显著激增”导致“以色列安全部队大规模回应、大规模逮捕巴勒斯坦人，以及有报道称定居者袭击清真寺”。
这封信是美国国会民主党人与以色列政府在约旦河西岸治理问题上日益加剧的摩擦的最新迹象，该党多名议员还呼吁限制对以色列的军事援助，以回应其在加沙战争中的行为。

这封信由加利福尼亚州参议员亚当·希夫、长期以来是国会中以色列最突出支持者之一的纽约州民主党领袖查克·舒默，以及新泽西州参议员科里·布克起草。
官员们表示，上周一名负责保护犹太定居者群体的以色列男子进入巴勒斯坦土地后向平民开火，造成一名17岁少年和一名70岁男子死亡。
参议员们敦促内塔尼亚胡向以色列警察和军方发布明确指令，无论肇事者身份如何，都要防止和干预约旦河西岸的暴力冲突。
人权组织多次记录了以色列部队对巴勒斯坦社区的定居者暴力反应迟缓——或在袭击发生时袖手旁观的情况。
以色列官员表示，包括总统和总理在内的当局多次谴责针对巴勒斯坦人的暴力行为。

信中还呼吁以色列政府停止批准在约旦河西岸扩建定居点和建设“非法前哨站”，并采取措施拆除现有前哨站。
在以色列发动加沙战争后，国会中的民主党人以及该党今年中期选举的众多候选人对內塔尼亚胡及其政府的批评日益强烈。
加沙卫生部门数据显示，这场始于2023年10月7日哈马斯领导的对以色列袭击后的冲突已造成超过7.3万名巴勒斯坦人死亡。此次袭击造成近1200名以色列人和外国公民死亡，250多人被劫持为人质。
在美国斡旋的加沙和平协议陷入停滞、约旦河西岸定居者暴力事件升级之际，许多民主党人呼吁大幅削减——或完全切断——每年向以色列提供的数十亿美元军事援助。

唐纳德·特朗普总统几乎没有就约旦河西岸局势发表评论。他的以色列大使迈克·赫卡比谴责好斗的定居者是“以色列恐怖分子”，并于本月告诉路透社，围困巴勒斯坦村庄库斯拉的责任人可能面临美国制裁。

- Lawmakers ask Netanyahu to investigate deaths of nine Americans killed in West Bank since 2022
- Letter to Netanyahu is signed by 42 of Senate’s 47 Democrats
- Senators also call for halt to additional settlements and illegal outpost construction
WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Democrats on Wednesday urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to rein in a “surge” of violence by West Bank settlers and mass arrests of Palestinians by Israeli security forces in the occupied territory.
In the letter to Netanyahu, seen by Reuters and signed by 42 of the Senate’s 47-member Democratic caucus, the lawmakers noted increasing levels of “fatal violence by settlers.”

They also appealed to Israel’s leader to step up investigations into the deaths of nine American citizens they said have been killed by settlers or security forces in the West Bank since 2022.
The “significant surge” of violence in recent weeks has resulted in “a large-scale response by Israeli security forces, mass arrests of Palestinians, and reported attacks by settlers on mosques,” the letter stated.
The letter marks the latest sign of growing friction between Democrats in Congress and the Israeli government over its handling of the West Bank, with many in the party also calling for curbs on U.S. military aid to Israel over its conduct of the war in Gaza.

It was drafted by Senator Adam Schiff of California, Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York – long one of Israel’s most prominent supporters in Congress – and Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey.
Last week, an Israeli man guarding a group of Jewish settlers walked onto Palestinian land and opened fire toward civilians, killing a 17-year-old and a 70-year-old man, officials said.
The senators urged Netanyahu to issue clear instructions to Israeli police and military to prevent and intervene in violent West Bank confrontations “regardless of the perpetrators.”
Rights groups have repeatedly documented how Israeli forces are slow to respond to settler violence in Palestinian communities – or stand by as attacks are carried out.
Israeli officials have said authorities including the president and prime minister have repeatedly condemned violence against Palestinians.

The letter also called on the Israeli government to stop approving additional settlements and construction of “illegal outposts in the West Bank” and to take steps to remove existing outposts.
Democrats in Congress and many of the party’s candidates running in this year’s midterm elections have become increasingly critical of Netanyahu and his government in the wake of Israel’s war in Gaza.
More than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, according to Gaza health officials, which began after the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Nearly 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals were killed in the assault and more than 250 people were taken hostage.
Amid a flagging U.S.-brokered peace deal in Gaza, and escalating settler violence in the West Bank, many Democrats have called for either significantly curtailing – or completely shutting off – billions of dollars in annual U.S. military aid to Israel.

President Donald Trump has said little about the situation in the West Bank. His ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has denounced militant settlers as “Israeli terrorists” and told Reuters this month that those responsible for besieging the Palestinian village of Qusra could face U.S. sanctions.
