Chris Van Hollen: “If the killing of nine Americans does not justify a report from our own state department, I would ask my colleagues…”

Tonight, 47 senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the nine Americans killed on the West Bank and for Palestinians who face injustices daily.

How many more Americans must be killed before the executive branch does its job? These families deserve answers.

Their families – and the American people – deserve answers on their deaths. But today Republicans denied them that.

The U.S. Government – including this Administration – has said time and again that our number one priority abroad is ensuring the safety and security of American citizens.
