以色列耶路撒冷——美国驻以色列大使迈克·哈克比周二指责加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗·卡纳就其访问以色列圣经核心地带一事谎称曾咨询美国大使馆。
卡纳上周访问约旦河西岸期间称，他的团队遭到以色列定居者的强行扣押。批评人士抨击此次访问是为其潜在总统竞选造势的政治秀。
哈克比在X平台上驳斥了卡纳及其随行人员的说法，他写道：“策划这场闹剧的左翼活动人士称‘大使馆参与其中’。这不是真的。我们事先并不知晓有国会议员要来。我们本会建议不要前往禁区。随着事实浮出水面，这无助于他们想要营造的叙事。并没有‘被持枪劫持’。”

这位加州议员周二在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时称，他于周三在访问约旦河西岸（亦称圣经中的朱迪亚和撒马利亚）期间被以色列定居者扣押了75分钟。
“我们已经通知了以色列大使馆，”卡纳声称。
当被问及哈克比大使在X平台上发布的称大使馆事先并不知情他此次访问的帖子时，卡纳表示：“那完全是虚假的。他被误导了。”
卡纳在X平台上回复哈克比称：“大使先生，尽管存在政治分歧，但我们一直保持着相互尊重的关系。以色列国防军现已澄清这里并非禁区，以色列媒体也证实了这一点。我国大使馆的副馆长戴维·布朗斯坦出色地协助我们撤离。多亏了他，我们才安然无恙。请向他表达感谢。显然，我们在行程中一直与戴维保持联系，因此通知了我国大使馆和以色列大使馆。”
卡纳称，“扣押我们的暴力定居者应当受到起诉，参与延长扣押时间的以国防军军官也需要接受调查。有这些极端主义定居者将车停在我们的面包车前，堵住唯一的道路，不让我们离开——他们挥舞着M4步枪，还踢我们的轮胎。”

以色列中东问题分析师埃坦·菲施贝格在X平台上发布了一段视频，称其揭穿了卡纳关于遭到暴力扣押的说法。
菲施贝格写道：“我鼓励所有人观看罗·卡纳所谓的‘暴力扣押’视频，该视频由他团队中的狂热活动人士发布。真是搬起石头砸自己的脚。”
福克斯新闻数字频道就这段视频向卡纳发送了后续媒体问询。他称菲施贝格的帖子是“虚假的”，并附上了自己在X平台上发布的视频。
他写道：“以国防军赶到后，他们偏袒定居者，继续扣押我们。他们犯了一个大错。”
卡纳告诉福克斯新闻：“我告诉以色列政府，我想参加由巴勒斯坦人主导的约旦河西岸之旅，因为我已经三次访问过以色列，了解了以色列的立场。这次旅行我打算花三天时间跟随巴勒斯坦团队了解情况。他们是知情的。关键在于，仅仅因为一名美国政客想要站在巴勒斯坦人的立场上，并不意味着以色列有权让暴力定居者扣押持有美国护照的美国人，也不意味着以色列有权让以国防军扣押我们。不只是我遭遇了这种情况。”
耶路撒冷安全与外交事务中心主席丹·迪克尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，卡纳的访问“看起来像是为其预计的2028年总统竞选造势的噱头。老实说，这就是一场宣传秀。”
“卡纳在朱迪亚和撒马利亚的几个巴解组织-巴勒斯坦权力机构村庄进行的72小时访问，既没有与以色列在华盛顿的大使馆，也没有与耶路撒冷的美国大使馆进行任何安全或外交协调，而且此次访问地点尤其危险：他支持巴勒斯坦的激进主义和反以色列活动早已广为人知。”
迪克尔声称，“卡纳公开支持在10月7日伊朗支持的巴勒斯坦哈马斯大屠杀后建立巴勒斯坦国，这与支持哈马斯、支持抵制、撤资、制裁以色列运动的团体立场一致，例如美国穆斯林援助巴勒斯坦组织。”
哈马斯于10月7日入侵以色列，导致该恐怖组织屠杀了超过1200人，其中包括40多名美国人。
卡纳还遭到了一位民主党同僚的批评。

新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默在X平台上写道：“令人愤慨的是，罗无视与10月7日袭击幸存者和人质见面的请求，也没有参观10月7日恐怖袭击现场。相反，他借着反犹太复国主义的浪潮，利用此次访问为总统竞选造势。”
当福克斯新闻数字频道就戈特海默的批评，包括未与10月7日幸存者见面一事询问卡纳时，他表示：“此次访问的目的是跟随巴勒斯坦团队游览约旦河西岸。”
他指出，“我已经三次访问过以色列，并会见了人质家属。”
针对戈特海默称他将此次访问作为“总统竞选亮相”的指责，卡纳表示：“我不知道他在说什么。”
以色列驻美国大使耶克iel·莱特在X平台上就卡纳关于遭到扣押的指控以及他对以色列的所谓诽谤发表了长篇回应。
“卡纳国会议员曾被邀请协调他的以色列之行——这不仅仅是通知他在以色列境内的行踪，”莱特写道。“我们主动提出为他的行程提供深入协调，以避免误解，但他选择无视这一提议。他也没有选择与耶路撒冷的美国大使馆协调此次访问。”
“更过分的是，这位国会议员借此机会向媒体宣扬‘种族灭绝’和‘种族隔离’的诽谤言论，将自己推上了又一场反以色列媒体狂热的中心。事实不会说谎——这是一场廉价的、预料之中的挑衅，本可以也应该避免……我很乐意邀请卡纳国会议员到我们大使馆，就他对以色列的不满进行深入交谈。”
卡纳告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，在莱特提出会面请求后，他的办公室已经联系了莱特大使的办公室。这位众议员提到了他在X平台上给莱特的帖子。
“……我很高兴接受您的会面邀请，因为我希望将此次事件转变为对巴勒斯坦普通民众有益的事情，”他写道。
当被问及莱特指责卡纳诽谤犹太国家时，卡纳表示：“这就是我所认为发生的事情，也是联合国所认为的事情。”

卡纳补充道：“我想明确表示，我毫不含糊地谴责哈马斯的恐怖主义，相信以色列有权存在。哈马斯要求毁灭以色列的宪章令人发指，这也是为什么他们被列为恐怖组织的原因。”当被问及哈马斯10月7日的入侵是否属于种族灭绝，以及哈马斯宪章是否因呼吁灭绝犹太人和以色列而属于种族灭绝文件时，卡纳称这是“暴力反犹太主义”，他多次将哈马斯称为恐怖组织，但拒绝称其为种族灭绝组织。

以色列抨击联合国报告为“政治血祭诽谤”，指控其蓄意杀害巴勒斯坦儿童
卡纳还告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他认为资助哈马斯的伊朗伊斯兰共和国是国家支持的恐怖主义政权。
“初步调查显示，在接到外国人员进入疑似封闭军事区域的报告后，以国防军士兵被派往朱迪亚旅的赫贝特·扎努塔地区，”以国防军发言人周二告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“与此同时，我们还收到了另一份关于以色列平民堵塞道路的报告。”
“士兵抵达现场后，将以色列平民驱散至该区域之外，并等待确认在场外国人员不存在安全隐患，同时等待确认该区域实际上并非封闭军事区。随后，车队获准继续行进。整个过程耗时数分钟。需要强调的是，在整个事件中，双方没有发生任何肢体冲突或暴力行为，也没有收到相关指控。”
“现场的武装人员是一名休假的以国防军士兵。此事正在调查中，该士兵将受到相应处理。还需要指出的是，此次访问并未提前与以国防军协调。我们强调，外交访问提前协调旨在防止此类事件发生。在可能发生安全相关事件的地区，此类协调尤为重要。与外交人员互动时应遵循的行为准则将进一步明确和强化。”

以色列新闻通讯社（TPS-IL）对这场公开争执进行了调查。一位以色列安全官员告诉TPS-IL，卡纳的随行人员并未提前协调抵达事宜。
“他们没有协调此次访问，”这位官员说。“通常情况下，我们会提前收到通知。”
据这位官员透露，外国议员和其他重要代表团前往朱迪亚和撒马利亚敏感地区的访问通常会与以色列当局协调。此类协调有助于当局评估通行限制、安全状况和后勤安排。这位官员表示，以色列平民安全人员赶到现场并阻挡了代表团，随后军队介入。“定居者赶到，挡住了他们的路，军队驱散了他们，事件基本就此结束，”这位官员说。
这位知情人士补充道，安全部队在得知车辆被堵后迅速设法解决了堵塞问题。

迪克尔认为，2028年总统竞选周期是吸引一些候选人打着所谓反以色列个人议程前往以色列的诱因。
迪克尔说：“这里的关键在于，美国民主党左翼的总统政治现在将所谓的‘以色列取消’或颠倒哈马斯-巴解组织与以色列之间的合法性，作为美国民众面临的重大国家议题，而非伊朗伊斯兰共和国及其全球恐怖代理人、中断全球石油运输、绑架全球经济的行为，也不是俄罗斯乌克兰局势、中国共产党渗透西方科技和其他资产、或伊斯兰势力渗透美国的问题。”

Mike Huckabee rejects Ro Khanna’s Israel visit claims: ‘Not held at gunpoint’

Khanna claims US ambassador to Israel was ‘misinformed’ over visit to Jewish state

Ro Khanna pressed on West Bank visit after bypassing official IDF channels
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., alleges Israeli settlers, armed with M4s, detained him and other Americans in the West Bank. Khanna’s account is disputed by the IDF and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Michael Leiter, who claims Khanna chose to coordinate with Palestinian activists.

JERUSALEM, Israel —U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Tuesday accused Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., of lying about consulting the American Embassy regarding Khanna’s visit to the Biblical heartland of Israel.
Khanna visited the West Bank last week when he said his group was aggressively detained by Israeli settlers. Critics slammed his tour as political showmanship to advance a potential presidential campaign.
Huckabee took to X to reject the account of Khanna and his delegation, writing, “The left-wing activist who set up this stunt says ‘The embassy is involved.’ That is NOT TRUE. We did NOT know a member of Congress was coming. We would have said don’t go to restricted zone. As FACTS come out, it’s not helping the desired narrative. Not ‘held at gunpoint.”’
MEET THE FAR-LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT IN 2026 MIDTERMS

Speaking to Fox News Digital Tuesday, the California lawmaker said he was detained by Israeli settlers for 75 minutes Wednesday while visiting the West Bank (also known by its Biblical names Judea and Samaria).
“We had informed the Israeli embassy,” Khanna claimed.
When asked about Ambassador Huckabee’s X post asserting the embassy did not know about his visit, Khanna said, “That is just false. He was misinformed.”
Khanna responded to Huckabee on X, stating, “Ambassador, we have always had a relationship of mutual respect despite political differences. The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] has now clarified it was not a restricted zone and Israeli papers have confirmed this. Deputy Chief of Mission David Brownstein in our embassy did a superb job in getting us out. We are safe because of him. Please thank him. We obviously notified our Embassy and Israel’s embassy about the trip given we were in constant touch with David.”
Khanna said the “violent settlers who detained us need to be prosecuted and the IDF officers who furthered that detention need to be investigated. There were these extremist settlers who parked their car in front of our van denying us exit — there was only one road — they brandished an M4 gun and kicked our tires.”

Eitan Fischberger, an Israeli Mideast analyst, posted footage on X that he said debunked Khanna’s claims that he was violently detained.
Fischberger wrote,” I encourage everyone to watch footage of Ro Khanna’s supposedly violent ‘detainment,’ which was released by the crazed activists on his own team. What a glorious self-own.”
Fox News Digital sent a follow-up press query to Khanna about the video footage. He said the post by Fischberger was “false” and provided his X post with video footage.
He wrote, “When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention. They made a huge mistake.”
Khanna told Fox News, “I told the Israeli government that I wanted to go on a Palestinian-led trip to the West Bank because I’d been on three trips to Israel. I had gotten Israel’s perspective, and that this trip I was going to go to the West Bank for a Palestinian-led look for three days. They knew that. And the point is that just because an American politician wants to get the side of Palestinians that does not give Israel the right to have violent settlers detain Americans with a passport that gives Israel the right to have IDF detain us. It’s not just me.”
Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, told Fox News Digital Khanna’s visit “appeared to be a publicity stunt in advance of his expected run for president in 2028. Let’s be honest, this was a publicity stunt.
“Khanna’s 72-hour visit to several PLO-PA [Palestine Liberation Organization-Palestinian Authority] villages in Judea and Samaria was carried out without any security or diplomatic coordination with Israel either of these is the embassy in Washington or the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, or security forces in a particularly dangerous visit: his history of pro-Palestinian activism, and anti-Israel activism is well known.”
Diker claimed, “Khanna had publicly endorsed a Palestinian state following the Oct. 7 Iran-backed Palestinian Hamas massacre aligning with pro-Hamas, pro BDS Boycott, Divestment, Sanction campaign against Israel groups such as American Muslims for Palestine.”
Hamas’ invasion of Israel Oct. 7 resulted in the terrorist organization’s mass murder of over 1,200 people, including more than 40 Americans.
Khanna is also under fire from a fellow Democrat.

Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., wrote on X, “What’s appalling is that Ro ignored requests to meet 10/7 survivors and hostages, or to visit sites of the 10/7 terrorist attacks. Instead, riding the anti-Zionist wave, he used the trip as a presidential campaign cameo.”
When Fox News Digital asked about Gottheimer’s criticism, including not meeting with Oct. 7 survivors, he said, “The purpose of this trip was a Palestinian-led tour through the West Bank.”

He noted that “I have been to Israel three times and met with hostage families.”
In response to Gottheimer’s accusation that he used the visit as a “presidential campaign cameo,” Khanna said, “I do not know what he was talking about.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, posted a lengthy response on X with respect to Khanna’s allegations that he was detained and his reported defamations of the Jewish state.
“Congressman Khanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel — this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country,” Leiter wrote. “He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer. He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.”
“To add insult to injury, the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid’ libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy. The facts don’t lie — this was a cheap, anticipated provocation that could and should have been avoided….I’d be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.”
Khanna told Fox News Digital his office contacted Ambassador Leiter’s office after he offered to meet with the him. The congressman referred to his X post to Leiter.
“…I am happy to take you up on your offer to meet because I want to turn this incident into something constructive for ordinary people in Palestine,” he wrote.
When asked about Leiter’s accusation that Khanna was defaming the Jewish state, Khanna said, “That’s what I believe happened, and that’s what the U.N. believed happened.”

Khanna added, “I want to be clear that I unequivocally reject Hamas’ terrorism and believe Israel has a right to exist. Hamas’ charter that calls for the destruction of Israel is appalling and why they are a terrorist group.” When pressed about whether Hamas’ invasion on Oct. 7 was genocidal and if the Hamas Charter is a genocidal document because it calls for the extermination of Jews and Israel, Khanna said it is “violent antisemitism,” and he repeatedly termed Hamas a terrorist organization but declined to call it a genocidal group.

Khanna also told Fox News Digital he believes the Islamic Republic of Iran, which finances Hamas, is a state-sponsor of terrorism.
“The initial inquiry indicates that IDF soldiers were dispatched to the Khirbet Zanuta area in the Judea Brigade following reports that foreign nationals had entered an area that was believed to be a closed military zone,” an IDF spokesperson told Fox News Digital Tuesday.
“At the same time, an additional report was received regarding a road being blocked by Israeli civilians.
“Upon arriving at the scene, the soldiers distanced the Israeli civilians away from the area and waited for confirmation that there was no security concern regarding the foreign nationals present at the location, and awaited confirmation that the area was not, in fact, a closed military zone. The convoy was then allowed to continue on its way. This process lasted several minutes. It should be emphasized that, throughout the incident, there was no physical confrontation or violence between those involved, and no such allegations were reported.
“The armed individual present at the scene was an IDF soldier who was on leave. The matter is under review, and the soldier will be addressed accordingly. It should also be noted that the visit had not been coordinated with the IDF in advance. We emphasize that prior coordination of diplomatic visits is intended to prevent incidents of this nature. Such coordination is particularly important in areas where there is a risk of security-related incidents. The required conduct when interacting with diplomats will be further clarified and reinforced.”

The Press Service of Israel (TPS-IL) conducted an investigation of the public row. An Israeli security official told TPS-IL that Khanna’s delegation did not coordinate its arrival in advance.
“They did not coordinate the visit,” the official said. “Usually, advance notice is received.”
According to the official, visits by foreign lawmakers and other prominent delegations to sensitive areas of Judea and Samaria are generally coordinated with Israeli authorities. Such coordination allows authorities to assess access restrictions, security conditions and logistical arrangements. The official said Israeli civilian security personnel arrived and blocked the delegation before troops intervened. “Settlers arrived, blocked them, the army dispersed them and that was basically the end of the incident,” the official said.
The source added that security forces sought to resolve the obstruction quickly after learning that the vehicles had been blocked.

Diker sees the 2028 presidential election cycle as the magnet for attracting some candidates to Israel with their alleged anti-Israel personal agendas.
Diker said, “The point here is that U.S. presidential politics, on the left flank of the Democratic Party, now exploits what can be called Israel cancellation or the inversion of legitimacy between Hamas — PLO and Israel as part of the unresolved Palestinian question as a major national issue for the American people, not the Islamic Republic of Iran and its global terror proxies, and it’s interruption of global oil shipping, kidnapping the global economy, nor is the issue the ongoing Russia, Ukraine situation, the Chinese communist parties infiltration of technology and other assets in the West or the Islamic infiltration of America.”
